Still, I really want to use more RAM. FreeNAS can use quite a bit.<br>

FreeNAS will use all of the memory. ZFS will eat up everything you<br>
have, and then start swapping idle stuff out because it wants more.<br>

Yup. I have 6GB allocated right now. That's why i need at least<br>
another 24GB (Subsonic can eat a lot as well).<br>

On ZFS, it's merely their version of the disk cache, predicatively reading information it thinks you might need. If an application actively wants to use that memory, it will release it for use. That seems like all the more reason to put them all on one logical system, to allow for more intelligent allocation of memory, and prevent the duplication of disk cache between the two virtual servers.</blockquote>
