https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199189 Steven Hartland <smh@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |smh@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #2 from Steven Hartland <smh@FreeBSD.org> --- Without some serious work, swap on ZFS will be error prone as ZFS can require memory to complete its IO pipeline and swap data to its vdevs so if memory is really short it can easily cause a deadlock. So while light use of swap on ZFS can work, heavy use of it will almost certainly fail. Given this I would never recommend ZFS backed swap. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
