Hi all,
After participating in Thread 50987 I have a question my "google-foo" can't seem to find answer to and didn't want to run the mentioned thread off topic.
I've been under the impression for a couple years now that running swap on ZFS was a bad idea due to possible memory exhaustion and instead should use a swap partition. I've not seen anywhere that this has changed and was wondering if anyone had any concrete knowledge they could share in regards to this. This doesn't affect me now as I've maxed out the memory in my system and run/test CURRENT so want a swap partition for dumps, however it would be nice to know for sure for future systems I may put together.
