Hi, I'm interested in using ZFS on one of my small systems with 256 MB of RAM and 4 GB flash disk. Since ZFS is now considered production ready on FreeBSD I would like to use it as root filesystem and profit mainly from the cool snapshot features for easy backups. I found multiple recommendations to run ZFS only on systems with enough resources. But is this only a requirement if you want good performance or also for ZFS to function properly at all? Thanks for any thoughts on that. Anselm
