[zfs-discuss] Memory Usage

Hi,

We have been using zfs for a couple of months now, and, overall, really
like it.  However, we have run into a major problem -- zfs''s memory
requirements
crowd out our primary application.  Ultimately, we have to reboot the
machine
so there is enough free memory to start the application.

What I would like is:

1) A way to limit the size of the cache (a gig or two would be fine
for us)

2) A way to clear the caches -- hopefully, something faster than
rebooting
the machine.

Is there any way I can do either of these things?

Thanks,
Tom Burns
