When running real data, as opposed to benchmarks, I notice that my l2arc stops 
filling, even though the majority of my reads are still going to primary 
storage.  I'm using 5 SSDs for L2ARC, so I'd expect to get good throughput, 
even with sequential reads.

I'd like to experiment with disabling the l2arc_noprefetch feature, to see how 
the performance compares by caching more data.  How exactly do I do that?

Right now, I added the following line to /etc/system, but it doesn't seem to 
have made a difference.  I'm still seeing most of my reads go to primary 
storage, even though my cache should be warm by now, and my SSDs are far from 
full.

set zfs:l2arc_noprefetch = 0

Am I setting this wrong?  Am misunderstanding this option?

Thanks,
  Rob
