8 The ZFS file system is known to use nearly all available RAM as
9 cache if the default system settings are not changed. This may
10 lead to a heavy fragmentation of the host memory preventing
11 <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> VMs from being started. We recommend to limit the
12 ZFS cache by adding the following line to
13 <filepath>/etc/system</filepath>, where
14 <varname>xxxx</varname> bytes is the amount of memory
15 usable for the ZFS cache.
