Garrett D'Amore 2cc6c8db12 Illumos #175: zfs vdev cache consumes excessive memory
Note that with the current ZFS code, it turns out that the vdev
cache is not helpful, and in some cases actually harmful.  It
is better if we disable this.  Once some time has passed, we
should actually remove this to simplify the code.  For now we
just disable it by setting the zfs_vdev_cache_size to zero.
Note that Solaris 11 has made these same changes.

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!

$ ./configure
$ make pkg
