Ram use is not a bad thing. Most good Unix variants will use as much memory as they can to speed up applications. ZFS does this too.
A better test might be to run 'iostat -x 5' or something similar while the slowdown is going on, so that you can see if the machine is actually running *out* of memory and needs to swap. To see how much ram is being used by ZFS, check out the arcstat.pl script. cheers, Blake On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 8:35 AM, Kevin Monceaux <Kevin at rawfeddogs.net> wrote: > On Mon, 19 Jan 2009, Tadeas Moravec wrote: > >> There are only about five lines written during the process and none of >> them is actually relevant to what's happening.
