on 64bit platforms it is MAX(3/4 of memory, memory - 1GB) by default.

so for a system with 72GB it should be MAX(54GB, 71GB) which is 71GB.

        Dear All,

        our storage system running opensolaris b133 + ZFS has a lot of
        memory for caching. 72 GB total. While testing we observed
        free memory never falls below 11 GB.

        Even if we create a ram disk free memory drops below 11 GB but
        will be 11 GB shortly after (i assume ARC cache is shrunken in
        this context).

        As far as i know ZFS is designed to use all memory except 1 GB
        for caching....



        Thanks in advance
