Nope, I don't have deduplication feature enabled.
By the way, today, after eating another 100M of wired memory this server
hanged out with multiple non-stopping messages
swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer
Since it's swapping on zvol, it looks to me like it could be the
mentioned in another thread here ("Swap on zvol - recommendable?")
resource starvation issue; may be it happens faster when the ARC isn't
limited.
So I want to ask - how to report it and what should I include in such pr ?
Thanks.
Eugene.
