Hello,
the ZFS best practices guide at
http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide tells:
* Run ZFS on a system that runs a 64-bit kernel
besides performance aspects, what`s the con`s of running zfs on 32 bit ?

Js.lists,
My needs are:
* Easy package management
There is no pkgadd or ips included in EON. You can however add IPS and retrieve
any of its available packages.
* Easy upgrades
EON is fairly easy to upgrade and the risk is low. All you have to do is
preserve your previous image before
besides performance aspects, what`s the con`s of
running zfs on 32 bit ?
The default 32 bit kernel can cache a limited amount of data
( 512MB) - unless you lower the kernelbase parameter.
In the end the small cache size on 32 bit explains the inferior
performance compared to the 64 bit kernel.

There is a 32-bit and 64-bit version of the file system module
available on x86. Given the quality of the development team, I'd be *very*
surprised if such issues as suggested in your message exist.
Jurgen's comment highlights the major issue - the lack of space to
cache data when in 32-bit
This sounds like FUD.
There's a comprehensive test suite, and it apparently passes.

It's not exactly FUD. If you search the list archives, you'll find
messages about multiple bugs in the 32-bit code. I strongly suspect that
these have been fixed in the interim, but it
I've been very inactive on opensolaris for a while and have forgotten a
discouraging amount of what little I knew.
I want to get back using the snapshot capability of zfs and am having
a time figuring out how to use zfs list -t snapshot.
man zfs shows:

Feel free to give EON a twirl. It will only cost you CD and the time to burn
and boot it. Or if you have a VM you can test it there. You'll know reallly
fast if it has enough of a framework for you to add the missing
Hi Bogdan,
I'd recommend the following RAM minimums for a fair balance of performance.
700Mb 32-bit
1Gb 64-bit
