July 25, 20241 yr I recently created a ZFS pool and enabled deduplication and wanted to use more than 16GB of my 128GB of memory for the ARC cache. I edited the /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf file to allow 64GB (in bytes) for ARC size. After the reboot, the file seems to be gone and still only using 16GB. What should I do?
July 25, 20241 yr Community Expert you have edited the wrong file. try /boot/config/modprobe.d/zfs.conf instead. This will be used at reboot time (and automatically copied over to /etc/modprobe.d)
July 25, 20241 yr Solution If on a newer version you can do this directly from the GUI now as well under system drivers Just make sure to do the correct calculation of size

Thank you. I tried manually add /boot/config/modprobe.d/zfs.conf, but it is missing after reboot.
