    Best disk setup for Proxmox

    Benchmark: ZFS vs mdraid + ext4 + qcow2

    Your statement is false. Just keep watching the ARC size with arcstat 1 and you'll see by yourself that ARC allocation is dynamic, it grows up when there are request and free memory and it shrinks when there memory is needed (example: you start another VM and there is not enough free RAM). But...
