zarcstat and zarcsummary detected L2ARC presence using the l2_size
kstat, which is data held in L2ARC, not whether a cache device is
attached. When a cache device was attached but empty (freshly added,
or fully evicted):
- zarcstat rejected "-f l2*" with "Incompatible field specified!"
- zarcsummary printed "L2ARC not detected, skipping section",
hiding cumulative I/O history and health counters
Expose the existing l2arc_ndev counter as a new kstat l2_dev_count.
It is maintained by l2arc_add_vdev() and l2arc_remove_vdev(), so it
tracks attachment in real time. Use it in both tools, falling back to
l2_size for compatibility with older kernel modules.
