I'm by no means a ZFS expert, but much of what I've read from "authoritative" sources [1] suggests that this is a myth. The 1GB of RAM per TB of disk is largely a suggestion from the FreeNAS developers a while back that was specific to FreeNAS (not ZFS in general) and more of a gut feeling than something backed by measurements. ZFS deduplication can be memory-hungry, but it's more "adding memory helps" than "not having lots of memory is catastrophic". [1] https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/738402-zfs-memory-requi... |
