It normally grinds the machine to a halt but I think I've also had a panic. Could you set up a log of the zfs sysctls like: Code: export ZFSLOG=/tmp/vfs_zfs.log; while true; do date >> $ZFSLOG; sysctl vfs.zfs >> $ZFSLOG; sleep 30; done and see what the vfs.zfs.arc_meta_used is before it crashes? ===== ZFS Posts ===== http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=30021 ===== Freebsd Kernel debugging ===== http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/developers-handbook/kerneldebug.html
