Hi ,

I have a freenas setup which includes the server being used for replication snapshots, plex plugin jail, and bhyve virtual machines. ( home use and im only person accessing it).

I have 16 gb of ram, of which only 2gb of ram is used for services but a whopping 11.3 is being used for zfs cache- making it fairly difficult to have enough remaining memory .7gb to run virtual machines.

Is there any way to limit the amount used by zfs cache? And if so how? did some lookup already with google- but I dont get any leads on a setting anywhere to change this


Thanks.

ZFS cache will as much space as available. No need to worry about it.
