This example setting limits the usage to 8 GiB ('8 * 2^30^').
+IMPORTANT: In case your desired +zfs_arc_max+ value is lower than or equal to
++zfs_arc_min+ (which defaults to 1/32 of the system memory), +zfs_arc_max+ will
+be ignored unless you also set +zfs_arc_min+ to at most +zfs_arc_max - 1+.

+This example setting (temporarily) limits the usage to 8 GiB ('8 * 2^30^') on
