Speaking of which.. what's the current limit on L2ARC size? Gathering tidbits here and there (7000 storage line config limits, FAST talk given by Bill Moore) there are indications that L2ARC can only be ~500GB? Is this the case? If so, is that a raw size limitation or a number of devices used to form the L2ARC limitation or something else? I'm sure some of us can come with examples where we really would like to use much more than a 500GB L2ARC :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
