[nycbug-talk] odd memory issue on

[Brett Wynkoop]

Greeting-

I just had a 32 bit system lock up on me with the need to hit the power
switch.  I thought it was odd because I was doing very little on it,
just an mv of some files from one filesystem to another.

On rebooting I found this interesting bit of info:

real memory  = 805306368 (768 MB)
avail memory = 238981120 (227 MB)

This of course leads to:

ZFS WARNING: Recommended minimum RAM size is 512MB; expect unstable
behavior. ZFS WARNING: Recommended minimum kmem_size is 512MB; expect
unstable behavior. Consider tuning vm.kmem_size and vm.kmem_size_max
             in /boot/loader.conf.


Now the $1M question......why in the world is only 227MB available?  I
know I have not stolen all the other memory with stupid bios settings
like giving it to video.

Ideas or clues appreciated.

-Brett
