that warning is the same for any File server. if you want performance, then you need ram. otherwise you don't have enough space to keep hot blocks.

ZFS works as well as any FS in places with 8 gigs of ram. Hell I even run a KVM node with just 16 gigs of ram. Its working just fine.

This is not what the documentation or the thousands of posts from ZFS experts out there imply. The direct implication is that ZFS REQUIRES that much memory for day to day mundane operation.
