Bhyve Broken: whose fault (AMD, FreeBSD, ZFS ...?)

  Ok - you may have hit a separate issue. Is ZFS ARC limited on your 
setup ? If bhyve and ZFS (and other consumers) end up fighting for 
memory, everyone loses :( A general rule of thumb is to limit ARC to 
less than the bhyve VM usage + a few additional gig for the base system.

  The FreeBSD default of giving ZFS all memory minus 1GB doesn't work 
too well when running VMs.

later,

Peter.
