  • Now I'm trying to change zfs_arc_max, but I have no luck. I found a discussion about this problem on Github, tried different options, but none work. I want to reduce the zfs_arc_max size to 512MB (currently 4GB), but the system ignores my settings. Can anyone tell me how to do this correctly, specifically in Void Linux? Not theoretically, but practically.
