For now L2ARC will have to be warmed up every time a reboot happens. See 
6662467.

Subject: [zfs-discuss] how l2arc works?

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could point me to any information describing how the 
l2arc works?

I attached an SSD as a cache device to the root pool of a 2009.11 system. 
Although the cache has started filling up (zpool iostat -v) it just seems that 
when I do a reboot, I hear quite a bit of disk activity. I was hoping, in the 
best case, that most of the disk access that was needed to boot would have been 
served though the SSD.

Does the cache fill only on writes? And what is the cache replacement policy 
if/when the cache becomes full?

I did notice some information regarding how limiting the speed at which the 
l2arc populates, and I think bug 6748030 discusses a "turbo warmup".

Thanks for any information.
