Hi there,
so this is my first thread here, so please don't get mad if I miss some of the rules :p
I am currently upgrading my 5x2 TB zfs pool to 5x6 TB. FreeNAS began to kill processes (like bhyve and the GUI) during the first resilver. The local console throws an error every ~5 minutes, saying that the system is out of swap space.
1. Is it possible that data gets corrupted / lost, when there's not enough swap space left while resilvering?
Of course I created a data backup before detaching the first drive, but that option should only be the last resort.
2. How can I fix that problem? Enlarging the swap file or upgrading the available memory in the first place?
I still have a 480 GB SSD lying around, that I could use as a temporary swap drive.
Specs:
- FreeNAS 11.1U6
- Skylake Celeron G3900 @2,8GHz
- Gigabyte GA-X150M-PRO ECC
- 16 GB DDR4-ECC @2133MHz
- Pool: 5x 2TB drives, all mixed up (Toshiba & Seagate, 2.5 and 3.5"), currently at 82% capacity
