| + | When huge portion of data are written (new backups) or read (backup verify) L2ARC is constantly written with current data. | ||
| + | To change this behaviour to cache only Most Frequent Use: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <file conf /etc/modprobe.d/zfs.conf> | ||
| + | options zfs l2arc_mfuonly=1 l2arc_noprefetch=0 | ||
| + | </file> | ||

| + | Explanation: | ||
| + | * [[https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Performance%20and%20Tuning/Module%20Parameters.html#l2arc-mfuonly|l2arc_mfuonly]] Controls whether only MFU metadata and data are cached from ARC into L2ARC. This may be desirable to avoid wasting space on L2ARC when reading/writing large amounts of data that are not expected to be accessed more than once. By default both MRU and MFU data and metadata are cached in the L2ARC. | ||
| + | * [[https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Performance%20and%20Tuning/Module%20Parameters.html#l2arc-noprefetch|l2arc_noprefetch]] Disables writing prefetched, but unused, buffers to cache devices. Setting to 0 can increase L2ARC hit rates for workloads where the ARC is too small for a read workload that benefits from prefetching. Also, if the main pool devices are **very slow**, setting to 0 can improve some workloads such as **backups**. | ||
