Just deployed new mainboard in server. 384 GB. ZFS will be happy.
One of the same reasons I have lots of RAM.
Back a decade ago there used to be a level where if you made the ARC use too much RAM, the system would choke in managing it, causing severe timeouts.
If I recall they recommended not setting the ARC larger than 128GB back then.
I'm hoping/guessing they must have resolved that by now. This may have been a FeeBSD issue now that I think about it. Not sure.
