What I really can't wrap my head around is how arc_meta_used can possibly be bigger than the arcsize. Yet on my system right now there's about 15 MB difference between the two. Also, arcsize is only about 1800M right now and since there is a parameter set that is called arc_no_grow I presume it'll remain that way. Do you think it's possible to - force it to "off" again - set a higher minimum limit? The latter can probably be done in /etc/system, but on a live system? -- No part of this copyright message may be reproduced, read or seen, dead or alive or by any means, including but not limited to telepathy without the benevolence of the author. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
