Public bug reported: arcstat.py and arc_summary.py are valuable tools to determine ZFS' ARC usage, it is not obvious why they are not included in zfsutils-linux. As ubuntu-minimal already depends on python3 it should be safe to assume python is available, or am I mistaken here?
arcstat.py gives an iostat-like overview about ARC reads, hit rate, current and target size in regular intervals: # ./arcstat.py 1 time read miss miss% dmis dm% pmis pm% mmis mm% arcsz c 19:22:33 0 0
