Hi,

I just half-updated a system to -current from today. This means I =20
booted todays kernel with the old world.

Is an old zfs userland tool supposed to work correctly with a recent =20
kernel? All I get is "internal error: out of memory" when I try a zfs =20
list (I noticed a problem as no zfs is mounted). I haven't read =20
anything like it shouldn't work on the mailinglist (as this is the =20
normal way of updating), so here are the loader.conf settings I use:
---snip---
vfs.zfs.prefetch_disable=3D1
vm.kmem_size=3D"700M"
vm.kmem_size_max=3D"700M"
vfs.zfs.arc_max=3D"160M"
vfs.zfs.vdev.cache.size=3D"5M"
---snip---

This i386 system has 768MB of memory.

Luckily /usr/src is not on ZFS, so I can install the new world if I =20
want to. But t be able to go back to the old kernel if necessary, I =20
prefer to not blindly update to the new world, except I get a message =20
which tells that it will fix my ZFS problem for sure.

Bye,
Alexander.
