    8.2.0 BETA3 - kernel panic

    I'm reverting back to 8.0.4 or 8.2.0 BETA2 for the moment, this BETA3 is not working well:

    Dump failed. Partition too small.
    Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
    panic: kmem_alloc(32768): kmem_map too small: 1603923968 total allocated
    cpuid = 0
    Uptime: 1h45m19s


    It then fails to actually reboots and stays frozen.

    Are you running x86 or x64?

    x64, all the specs for my test rig are in my sig and are current.

    edit: this is a reproducible error whenever I copy a fair amount of data. During the copy it will crash at anywhere from 75-200GB.

    The other builds have been stable so far.

    edit2: because I'm stubborn, I upgraded beta2 once again to beta3 and have so far found three issues:
    -this kernel panic
    -the 'advanced mode' button in CIFS doesn't work
    -in 'view disks' my drives don't show their serial nr.

    About the panic... do you have anything under System -> Tunables?

    I think you do, delete anything related to zfs or kmem... kmem_size, arc_max, etc

    I do, indeed. I haven't added it in myself, though.

    Deleted vm.kmem_size 1536M
    Deleted vfs.zfs.arc_max 1024M
    I kept kern.ipc.nmbclusters 50000 (or should that go as well?)

    Will start a new copy of data

    You need to reboot so it can take effect

    Well, that was quick

    panic: kmem_malloc(131072): kmem_map too small: 1608253440 total allocated
    cpuid = 1

    and then it freezes and needs a hard reboot

    edit: rebooted and now it has no configured LAN interface...
    edit2: ignore that last message, another reboot solved that one.
    (still, it seems beta3 really doesn't like my machine!)

    Angry

    Same problem here.

    FreeNAS-8.2.0-BETA3-x64
    HP ProLiand Mini Server
    2x 1GB DDR3
    1x WD 250GB
    3x WD Green 1.5TB RAIDZ1

    Did not have problems copying medium and small files, but when copying large files it Panics with the kmem_malloc(131072) error.

    The file I am using to test is a 13GB file.

    I see that I have the vm.kmem_size entry on Tunables, Generated by autotune. Will turn autotune off and remove those entries. Will report back.

    Turned off Autotune and deleted two entries on Tunables:
    Deleted vm.kmem_size
    Deleted vfs.zfs.arc_max

    I kept kern.ipc.nmbclusters entry.

    Just rebooted, confirmed the entries where not there anymore.

    And I could copy the 13GB file with no problems. Performance was not great, as it would pause at every few seconds.

    Also, the problem would not happen with all large files, but with some specific ones.

    Final note: I am using Windows 8 CP to copy the files from an external USB drive to the FreeNAS box over GBit Ethernet.
