However, recent releases like 2.3.1 appear to have switched Linux to use the previous FreeBSD algorithm, which is noted in the release bundled man pages, e.g.,
[root@ldas-pcdev15 ~]# man 4 zfs | grep -A8 zfs_arc_max
zfs_arc_max=0B (u64)
Max size of ARC in bytes. If 0, then the max size of ARC is determined by the amount of sys‐
tem memory installed. The larger of all_system_memory - 1 GiB and 5/8 × all_system_memory
will be used as the limit. This value must be at least 67108864B (64 MiB).
This value can be changed dynamically, with some caveats. It cannot be set back to 0 while
running, and reducing it below the current ARC size will not cause the ARC to shrink without
memory pressure to induce shrinking.
