Using ZFS for swap is not supported #103

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Put the vm/swap on a zfs-formatted volume.
2. Do something that does a lot of paging, like Time Machine, for example, or a 
lot of file/based io that exhausts cache
3. Watch the system die.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I get a kernel panic from vm, with ZFS in the call chain, saying that it didn't 
expect to see an encrypted page here, or somesuch. It's happened a few times. 
Moving swap off of ZFS and onto an HFS+ volume resolved the problem. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
74. 10.7.2

Please provide any additional information below.
I can provide panic logs if requested. This is probably an edge case, but just 
in case it's relevant to you, I thought I'd provide this report.

Don't put the VM on a zfs-formatted volume. It's not supported.
