Hi, Other than modifying /etc/system, how can I keep the ARC cache low at boot time?
Can I somehow create an SMF service and wire it in at a very low level to put a fence around ZFS memory usage before other services come up? I have a deployment scenario where I will have some reasonably large memory systems (1.7GByte) on Amazon EC2 where the application I'm running needs a lot of memory, is using large pages and won't use ZFS in any significant way. Therefore, I would like to limit ZFS's use of memory on the system. I'd followed the evil tuning guide to modify /etc/system, however I've just found by corresponding with the EC2 support folks that it is not supported to modify /etc/system (and it doesn't work... it keeps the system from booting).
