I'm going to give it another try. I used to run ZFS on top of geli but I had kernel panics. I changed the providers to normal non-geli disks but still had panics. I found out later that the panics were kernel memory related (kmem_malloc) since ZFS wants a lot. I increased two of the kernel memory parameters and haven't seen a panic again. vm.kmem_size: 512M vm.kmem_size_max: 512M I guess I'll have to try the geli disks again now that the memory has been increased.
