I've recently set up a VPS at rootbsd. I set it up with GPT+ZFS almost the same way as my old physical machine (the difference is that I'm not using a mirror for the tank, since the underlying storage has redundancy, and the virtual disk is much smaller than the physical disk I had before): the only things on the disk are the freebsd-boot partition and the tank. Swap is provided on a zvol.
The system only has 768 MB of RAM, but this page has some tuning that suggests that it ought to work.
Under load, the system winds up using a couple dozen MB of swap, but then all of a sudden it locked up with repeated messages:
All I get from teh g00g on this is a thread from September of 2007 on freebsd-current.
Is there still problems swapping to a zvol? What can I do to make it more reliable?
