To limit the amount of RAM allocated to the ZFS ARC cache to 8 GB on TrueNAS, you can adjust a system configuration setting. Heres how to do it:
1. **Access the TrueNAS Interface**: Log in to the TrueNAS web interface.
2. **Open the Shell**: Go to the top menu and click on **Shell** to open a terminal.
3. **Modify the ZFS Configuration**:
- Enter the following command to limit the ARC to 8 GB:
```shell
sysctl vfs.zfs.arc.max=8589934592
```
- This command sets the maximum ARC size to 8 GB (8 GB in bytes = 8589934592).
4. **Make the Change Persistent**:
- To ensure this setting applies on reboot, add it to the startup configuration file.
- Use the following command to append it to `sysctl.conf`:
```shell
echo "vfs.zfs.arc.max=8589934592" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
```
5. **Restart the System**: It's recommended to restart TrueNAS to make sure the setting takes effect.
This will effectively limit the ZFS ARC to 8 GB, allowing more RAM to be available for other processes.
