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
systems with more than 256 GiB of total memory, where simply setting
+zfs_arc_max+ alone would not work.
