Hi all,
On our production system on r255173 we have problem with abnormal high system load caused (not sure) with L2ARC placed on a few SSD, 490 GB total size.
After a fresh boot everything seems to be fine, Load Average less then 5.00.
But after some time (nearly day-two) Load Average jump to 10.. 20+ and system goes really slow, IO opearations with zfs pool grows from ms to even seconds.
And L2ARC sysctls are pretty disturbing:

How can L2 ARC Size: (Adaptive) be 1.44 TiB (up) with total physical size of L2ARC devices 490GB?
Why this values can grow and become so high?

Thanks for any help and ideas!
