Hey guys,

I am running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE with GENERIC on a AMD XP Athlon 3500+ with 1267 MB of ram, and a GigBit NIC. I am testing out ZFS just for the hell of it, I know, 32 bit is not suggested and runs badly, but it does what it
needs to do.

I was copying large amounts of data for backup purposes from my MacBook Pro to the machine over FTP. At the time I was looking around the man page for zpool, and figured I'd run a zpool scrub just to see how badly it affects performance. It affects it in that it takes down the machine with a dump.

Unread portion of the kernel message buffer:

80 64 48 32 16

Out of curiosity, have you done any tuning on this machine?
Specifically some of the stuff mentioned on the wiki?

I had not. I changed the size the kernel was allowed to be to at least 512 M as that is recommended, and I got the same panic as the first email I sent out (this time as seen in dmesg -a), I also ran out of space on /var so it did not save the vmcore :(.

I am going to wait till I get my 64 bit system up and running before messing with ZFS again. I don't think the amount of ram I have in that machine would be enough with some of the other stuff it will have to do as well, if I let the kernel eat up to a GB.
