zfsonlinux – 为什么Linux上的ZFS上没有arc_max设置？

我在Ubuntu 12.04上从 their PPA开始运行ZoL 0.6.2.它位于具有16GB内存的主机上,旨在使用KVM / Libvirt运行某些VM.一段时间后,ZoL使用了大量内存,在运行一些虚拟机时达到了98％的RAM使用率.这导致新进程拒绝启动“无法分配内存”.在使用ZFS之前,我甚至无法启动所有虚拟机,使用大约40-50％的RAM.

据我所知,如果没有调整,ZoL应该在系统内存不足时立即释放内存.嗯,事实并非如此.所以我决定将arc_max设置为1GB.

# echo 1073741824 >> /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_max

不过,它不释放任何记忆.

从下面的ARC统计数据中可以看出,它使用的内存比配置的内存多(比较c = 7572030912和c_max = 1073741824).

我在这做错了什么？
