arc cache: pagesize and/or power of 2 constraints?

[Alexander Leidinger]

Hi,

while writting some acceptance tests for the Solaris machines at work  
I wondered if the size of the arc cache should be a multiple of the  
page size and/or a power of 2. I searched the net, but was not able to  
find some info regarding this.

I would expect that it does not make sense to have an arc cache size  
which is not a multiple of the page size. And depending on how the arc  
cache is implemented, it would make sense to have it even as a power  
of 2 size (even if it is able to handle non-power-of-2 sizes).

Did someone had a look at this in FreeBSD?

Bye,
Alexander.
