I used zfs send / recieve to transfer a whole dataset but obviosly this eats all my memory so that finally all VMs are dead. What can i do ?
Trusnas Core Version: TrueNAS-13.0-U6.1
Can someone please help to understand this behavior.
is homedir something special?
Why truenas is not able to transfer this big bunch of data from one to the other pool without running into swap and filling the memory for something… ?
I killed the zfs send + receive but receive still running with 100% on one core.
last pid: 35599; load averages: 5.24, 4.32, 2.64 up 0+02:03:54 15:56:43

Swap: 6144M Total, 6144M Used, K Free, 100% Inuse
swap is filled after ~ 17G transfered and the whole system runs into trouble afer the swp is filled for what ever reason
The swap not working properly is an issue, but I think that, fundamentally, you do not have enough RAM. 16 GB is the recommend minimum for TrueNAS using storage alone; further workload, including VMs, requires more RAM.
I do have 32Gig of RAM and the VMs configured to use 4GB each
Same issue with all VMs stopped before starting the task
The official minimum is 8GiB
