Reducing the record size would negatively impact performance. For rational why, see thesection titled "Match Average I/O Block Sizes" in my blog post on filesystem caching:http://www.thezonemanager.com/2009/03/filesystem-cache-optimization.htmlBrad Brad Diggs | Principal Sales

effectively leverage this caching potential, that won't happen. OUD far outperforms ODSEE. That said OUD may get some focus in this area. However, time willtell on that one.For now, I hope everyone benefits from the little that I did validate.Have a great day!Brad Brad Diggs | Principal Sales

However, the focus of my questionis on how the L1ARC would benefit from a data caching standpoint.Thanks in advance!Brad Brad Diggs | Principal Sales ConsultantTech Blog:http

What would you want to observe if your system hit the upper limit in zfs_max_phys_mem? I would want zfs to behave well and safely like every other app on which you apply boundary conditions. It is the responsibility of zfs to know its boundaries and stay within them. Otherwise, your system
