I just realised that I have the following warning in dmesg:
WARNING: sysctl vfs.zfs.arc_max is deprecated. Use vfs.zfs.arc.max instead.
Due to the above warning, I updated the parameter in /boot/loader.conf to u=
se
the latest parameter (changed from vfs.zfs.arc_max to vfs.zfs.arc.max) and =
then
reboot the server. However I still have the same warning after reboot (WARN=
ING:
sysctl vfs.zfs.arc_max is deprecated. Use vfs.zfs.arc.max instead).
I checked the sysctl parameter setting, and surprisingly my system have both
parameters active:
[19:19]root@nas:~ # sysctl vfs.zfs.arc.max
vfs.zfs.arc.max: 15032385536
[19:19]root@nas:~ # sysctl vfs.zfs.arc_max
vfs.zfs.arc_max: 15032385536
There is no other config files in my system that have the deprecated
"vfs.zfs.arc_max" parameter, so I wonder what caused the warning message du=
ring
boot.
