I was using ZFSonLinux (not the FUSE version) for backups (as well as two external USB drives with btrfs and ext4), but the last couple of times I ran the rsync ZFS OOM'd my machine with 8GB of RAM.. not impressed. :-(
Under FreeBSD I restrict ARC so it eats only part of the memory (I set it to 4GB when I had 8GB) According to http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems.zfs.user/2172 under Linux it has to be put in here: # cat /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf options zfs zfs_arc_max=2147483648 That may have prevented your OOM.
