** Description changed: In the past I could limit the size of L1ARC by specifying "options zfs zfs_arc_max=3221225472" in /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf. I tried even to - fill /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_max directly after login, but - none of those methods limits the size of L1ARC. It worked nicely in zfs - 0.7.x. + fill /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_max directly, but none of those + methods limits the size of L1ARC. It worked nicely in zfs 0.7.x.
