These changes significantly reduce this overhead. Currently: L1-only header = 176 bytes L1 + L2 or L2-only header = 176 bytes + 32 byte checksum + 32 byte l2hdr = 240 bytes Memory-optimized: L1-only header = 176 bytes L1 + L2 header = 176 bytes + 32 byte checksum = 208 bytes L2-only header = 96 bytes + 32 byte checksum = 128 bytes So overall: Trunk Optimized +-----------------+ L1-only | 176 B | 176 B | (same) +-----------------+ L1 & L2 | 240 B | 208 B | (saved 32 bytes) +-----------------+ L2-only | 240 B | 128 B | (saved 116 bytes) +-----------------+ For an average blocksize of 8KB, this means that for the L2ARC, the ratio of metadata to data has gone down from about 2.92% to 1.56%. For a 'storage optimized' EC2 instance with 1600GB of SSD and 60GB of RAM, this means that we expect a completely full L2ARC to use (1600 GB * 0.0156) / 60GB = 41% of the available memory, down from 78%.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory. This file was last revised on: $FreeBSD$ For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this directory (additional copyright information also exists for some sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for more information). The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc. The ``world'' target should only be used in cases where the source tree has not changed from the currently running version. See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html for more information, including setting make(1) variables. The ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install the kernel and the modules (see below). Please see the top of the Makefile in this directory for more information on the standard build targets and compile-time flags. Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation for which can be found at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html And in the config(8) man page. Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the ``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build world before. More information is available in the handbook. The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation kernel. The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible devices, not just those commonly used. It is the successor of the ancient LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a pure reference and documentation file.
