--- Comment #8 from Josh Paetzel <jpaetzel@FreeBSD.org> ---
<jpaetzel> Is there any case where ARC usage can exceed arc_max legitimatel=
y?


<mahrens> I want to say no, but your example is with arc_max=3D128MB so the=
re may
be some exceptions at that small of a size (only 8 maximum-size blocks!).  =
Also
stuff can get pinned in memory (and can=E2=80=99t be evicted regardless of =
ARC
settings) when it=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9Cin use=E2=80=9D, which is the case for=
 metadata of open files,
mounted filesystems, etc.

It=E2=80=99s a hard limit on the *target* ARC size.
