After it dropped, it did build back up. Today is the first day that these servers are working under real production load and it is looking much better. arcstat is showing some nice numbers for arc, but l2 is still building. read hits miss hit% l2read l2hits l2miss l2hit% arcsz l2size 19K 17K 2.5K 87 2.5K 490 2.0K 19 148G 371G 41K 39K 2.3K 94 2.3K 184 2.1K 7 148G 371G 34K 34K 694 98 694 17 677 2 148G 371G 16K 15K 1.0K 93 1.0K 16 1.0K 1 148G 371G 39K 36K 2.3K 94 2.3K 20 2.3K 0 148G 371G 23K 22K 746 96 746 76 670 10 148G 371G 49K 47K 1.7K 96 1.7K 249 1.5K 14 148G 371G 23K 21K 1.4K 93 1.4K 38 1.4K 2 148G 371G My only guess is that the large zfs send / recv streams were affecting the cache when they started and finished.
