Ok, thanx for your input, guys. So Bvians comment still is valid. I tell the Linux guys that OpenSolaris on 32 bit will fragment the memory to the point that you have to reboot once in a while. It shouldnt corrupt your data when it runs out of RAM. Vodevick. -- This message posted from

But it is a problem when you more memory then you can map (1GB will probably still work but 2GB is too big. This here is my problem. I've got 4GB of RAM in the box. It's painful. ;) Have you changed kernelbase? Lowering it will help performance. Casper

Its not me. There are people on Linux forums that wont to try out Solaris + ZFS and this is a concern, for them. What should I tell them? That it is not fixed? That they have reboot every week? Someone knows? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

I see this old post about ZFS fragmenting the RAM if it is 32 bit. This makes the memory run out. Is it still true, or has it been fixed? http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2006-July/003506.html -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
