Re: Unable to limit memory consumption with vfs.zfs.arc_max

Thank you, Mike.  It looks like they're both getting set, so sadly no
progress, but I have updated my sysctl.conf to keep up with the times.

Jim

# sysctl -a | grep vfs.*arc.max
vfs.zfs.arc_max: 4294967296
vfs.zfs.arc.max: 4294967296

# grep vfs.*arc.max /etc/sysctl.conf 
#vfs.zfs.arc_max=4294967296
vfs.zfs.arc.max=4294967296
