Registry

Open ZFS uses the Registry for default tunable values which is read in on startup.

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\ZFSin old

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\OpenZFS new

hostid

The Registry key hostid is generally handled by OpenZFS internally, ie, generated randomly if it is not set the first time Open ZFS is loaded.

You can change hostid if that is so desired. For example, if you share the pool between multiple Operating Systems on the same Hardware.

Arc Max

To set the ARC maximum memory usage to 2GB, create an entry;

    "zfs_arc_max" REG_QWORD "0x80000000"

and reboot. If you wish to change it on a running system without rebooting, see the kstat example.

Vectorized Raidz

There are a few vectorized implementations to chose from, due to a lack of kstat porting, we can not display the method used or available. It is printed on the debug console.

To disable all assembler implementations, create a registry setting:

"icp_aes_impl" REG_SZ "generic"
"icp_gcm_impl" REG_SZ "generic"
"zfs_vdev_raidz_impl" REG_SZ "original"
"zfs_fletcher_4_impl" REG_SZ "scalar"

Which would set the implementations to use the standard C versions. The default value is fastest which picks the highest available. Examples are

zfs_vdev_raidz_impl: [original] scalar sse2 ssse3 
icp_gcm_impl_get: cycle fastest [generic] 
icp_aes_impl_get: cycle fastest [generic] x86_64 aesni 
zfs_fletcher_4_impl_get: fastest [scalar] superscalar superscalar4 sse2 ssse3

Available tunables

As of 2022, the tunables are now written to the Registry when you install OpenZFS, so all available tunables are visible there. This list below is now obsolete.

The ZFS tunables are many and constantly changing. The easiest way to display them all is to run the kstat program. <- Not true
