[pve-devel] [PATCH installer v3 2/3] tui: expose arc size setting for zfs bootdisks for all products

[Christoph Heiss]

For non-PVE products, simply use the ZFS defaults (aka. 50%) and leave
unset, if the user never touches that setting.

Changes v2 -> v3:
  * no changes

Changes v1 -> v2:
  * use new placeholder functionality for non-PVE products
