failed to initialize ZFS library

[Patrick Welche <prlw1%cam.ac.uk@localhost>]

Playing around with ZFS, after the zfs diff snapshot hang, I keep getting

# zfs list
internal error: failed to initialize ZFS library

kobj_load, 428: [%M/zfs/zfs.kmod]: linker error: out of memory
WARNING: module error: vfs load failed for `zfs', error 12

ENOMEM? I tried moving /etc/zfs/zpool.cache away in case corruption there
could cause it, but no change...

# modload zfs
modload: zfs: Cannot allocate memory

total memory = 16291 MB
avail memory = 15725 MB


Any ideas what to look for?


Cheers,

Patrick
