Since this data is mainly write-only, and only to be read when old data 
needs to be reviewed. Which is hardly ever....

Do I, can I do, or should I do,  something about that data going into 
ARC or cache?
zfsraid/nvr  primarycache          all                    default
zfsraid/nvr  secondarycache        all                    default

With that I mean it only needs to go to disk, until it is deleted about 
30 days later, in the time in between the data is not accessed.

Now I have the idea that it goes into ARC and puts presure on memory 
that could be used for other things?
