This was my only dedup'd dataset, so I have no other experience deleting them. Do you think that, had there been no data, my "zfs destroy" would have taken 3 days? I get that the rm -rf might have taken 3 days, but hopefully my system wouldn't have gone all freaky during that? >On the other hand, there're quite a number of calucations that'll give you a >good >guess about how much RAM you will need for a specific amount of dedup'ed data. I think an extremely safe calc would say 3GB RAM per 1TB of pre-dedup'd storage. Our data was 2TB before dedup. We have 16GB of RAM in this unit so we shouldn't have been having a RAM issue. We had plenty of free RAM during the whole process. pace -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
