My crash this AM was with 4G real, and the ARC seemed to grow and grow, then we started paging, and then crashed. Even with the VM pressure it seemed to grow out of control. Ideas? Before that but since 191902 I was having the opposite problem, my ARC and thus Wired would grow up to approx arc_max until my Inactive memory put pressure on ARC making it shrink back down to ~450M where some aspects of performance degraded. A partial workaround was to add a arc_min which isn't entirely successful and I found I could restore ZFS performance by temporarily squeezing down Inactive memory by allocating a bunch of it myself; after freeing that, ARC had no pressure and could grow towards arc_max again until Inactive eventually rose. Reported to Kip last night and some cvs commit lists. I never did run into Swap.Received on Mon May 18 2009 - 23:22:03 UTC
