This is the first post of the current thread: it should tell you everything

NFS server amd64 Freebsd 8.0 recent (2 days ago)

This server has been running for several months without problems.
Beginning last week, however, I'm experiencing panics (about 1 per day)
with the error in the subject

Current settings:


vm.kmem_size_scale: 3
vm.kmem_size_max: 329853485875
vm.kmem_size_min: 0
vm.kmem_size: 2764046336

hw.physmem: 8568225792
hw.usermem: 6117404672
hw.realmem: 9395240960

vfs.zfs.l2arc_feed_secs_shift: 1

vfs.zfs.arc_min: 215941120
vfs.zfs.arc_max: 1727528960


I've set nothing in either /boot/loader.conf or sysctl.conf


What should I do?
