Same issue different thread. Different software.

Its not NFS, its ZFS.

I don't really have a place to try it on 8.2, but my hunch from things
I've done rather similarly which don't cause tell me its a new issue in
9.0, though I won't swear by that.

Just digging around I find one value ever-growing in vmstat -z and being
by far the biggest "USED" value:

virgin# while ( 1 )
while? echo -n `date`: ; vmstat -z | fgrep NAMEI | sed 's/ */ /g'
while? sleep 10
while? end

I'll recheck that in more busy times again.

Philip:

Are you using:

- another file system (like UFS/FFS for the system or similar?)
- ZFS snapshots
- ZFS send

on the system?

Can you also see the NAMEI growth?
