For all of you using FreeBSD and ZFS, Kip Macy (kmacy) and Pawel Jakub Dawidek (pjd) merged ZFS Version 13 into FreeBSD 7-STABLE. Here is a breakdown of some of the new features: kmem now goes up to 512GB so arc is now limited by physmem, the arc now experiences backpressure from the vm (which can be too much - but this allows ZFS to work without any tunables on amd64), L2ARC Level 2 cache for ZFS which allows you to use additional disks for cache, and more.

I'm having some issues where my fileserver keeps restarting on its own every 5-17 days (it's inconsistent) and running OpenSolaris ZFS 13..
Looks like now I can run my array off FreeBSD while testing to see if it's hardware or software related!
Thanks OSNEWS!
