Can somebody kindly clarify as to how Solaris and ZFS makes use of RAM? I have 4 gig of RAM installed on my Solaris/ZFS box serving a pool of 6 disks. I can see that it is using all of this memory, although the machine has never had to dip into swap space.
What would be the net effect of adding more RAM? Would it just use all of that RAM and pretty much accomplish nothing, or will adding more RAM increase the size of my buffers and provide me with faster I/O that gets backlogged less frequently? How can I really tell whether my machine is RAM starved? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
