A few questions about ZFS

[Daniel Andersson]

Hiya!

I've been thinking about trying out zfs for a while now. But as it is still
kind of
experimental I'm not sure if it'll be worth it. I'm currently running FBSD
7.0 i386
but if I go with zfs I'll probably reinstall to amd64. Anyhow, the box acts
primarily as a fileserver/fw/router. It has only 1gb ram though, which seems

to be the minimum according to things I've read. If rtorrent uses 900+mb
ram,
and zfs needs 1gb to run properly, what will happen? crash? Even if I got
another gb of ram, would it work under heavy writing/reading? I would
probably
set up a /zfs for it and leave the root, usr, etc partitions to UFS2.

Doesn't seem promising, I rarely hash stuff though. If it starts crashing I
would have to.

Would I be better of setting up some softraid or vinum?
