I had previously followed this guide and my ZFS Cache was going good. I just installed 24.04.1.1 and now my ZFS Cache is only 1.6GB, leaving 120GB free. It used to be 62GB and I had a zfs_arc_max set to 100GB … is anyone else seeing this issue

If you are in the latest version you shouldn’t have to set the arc size anymore. It is done automatically like the CORE version.

Soooo, this is going to get better? Like I said, previously it was using 50% by default.

It grows as it’s used and does not use it all after a reboot.
