In setting up tmpfs (so not tmpmfs) on a machine that is using
zfs(v15, zfs v4) on 8.2prerelease I run out of space on the tmpfs when
copying a file of ~4.6 GB file from the zfs-filesystem to the memory
disk. This machine has 8GB of memory backed by swap on the harddisk,
so I expected the file to copy to memory without problems.


....this is in fact worse than I first thought. After leaving the
machine running overnight the tmpfs is reduced to a size of 4K, which
shows that tmpfs is in fact
completely unusable for me. See the output of df:
---
h...@pulsarx4:~/>  df -hi /tmp
Filesystem    Size    Used   Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused  Mounted on
tmpfs         4.0K    4.0K      0B   100%      18     0  100%   /tmp

This is a known problem. So far, no solution has been offered, which means that effectively, tmpfs cannot be used with ZFS on the same system.
