Sync Sequential Reads Arc

The document discusses configuring the ZFS Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) parameters for optimal performance. It explains how to set minimum and maximum ARC sizes, both without tunables (dynamic adjustment) and with specific values (1 GB minimum and 3 GB maximum). It also presents metrics for ARC hits and misses, indicating the efficiency of data retrieval from memory versus disk storage.

Synchronous Sequential Reads With Arc Parameter

Without Tunables
echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_min
Setting zfs_arc_min to 0 allows ZFS to dynamically adjust the minimum ARC size based
on available memory.

echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_max


Setting zfs_arc_max to 0 means ZFS will automatically determine the maximum ARC size
based on system memory and workload.

node_zfs_arc_hits
This metric tracks how many times the data requested by an application or process was
found in the ARC. A higher number of ARC hits means that ZFS is efficiently serving data
from memory, resulting in faster data access and reduced disk I/O.

The maximum number of hits 1921 Hits/Sec

node_zfs_arc_misses
This represents the number of cache misses in the Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC)
of ZFS. A cache miss occurs when the requested data is not found in the ARC, meaning
that ZFS has to fetch the data from the underlying storage, which is slower than serving it
from memory.

The maximum number of misses 1811 Misses/Sec


With Tunables
echo 1073741824 | sudo tee /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_min
This will set arc_min size as 1 GB

echo 3221225472 | sudo tee /sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_max


This will set arc_max size as 3 GB

node_zfs_arc_hits
This metric tracks how many times the data requested by an application or process was
found in the ARC. A higher number of ARC hits means that ZFS is efficiently serving data
from memory, resulting in faster data access and reduced disk I/O.

The maximum number of hits 2033 Hits/Sec

node_zfs_arc_misses
This represents the number of cache misses in the Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC)
of ZFS. A cache miss occurs when the requested data is not found in the ARC, meaning
that ZFS has to fetch the data from the underlying storage, which is slower than serving it
from memory.

The maximum number of misses 0.022 Misses/Sec
