I believe the memory is used up by zfs, there were posts about this a while ago. Googling 'zfs using all memory' gave me for example http://milek.blogspot.com/2006/09/how-much-memory-does-zfs-consume.html And http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06822.html
However for a while I used to see Firefox using stupid amounts of resources (forget the figures). Still not seen that for a while, what version of the OS and what version of Firefox are you using? FYI I'm running Firefox 3.0.4 on opensolaris 5.11 snv_105 i86pc.

There are only about five lines written during the process and none of them is actually relevant to what's happening. Is there any way to enable "verbose" mode during the startup? I've noticed another weird thing: the computer is using quite a lot of memory according to the System Monitor app. 50-90% of 2GB when I'm running only Firefox, it's quite a lot - and it probably has a lot to do with the speed of the system. But I don't see there any weird applications running that could cause it... Nor top helps. If I add all the memory costs of processes System Monitor shows me, I get only about 150MB - however I'm supposed to be using 50% of 2GB. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected] _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
