Quote Jeremy Chadwich talking about vm.kmem_size: "1) Consider increasing it from 512M to something like 1.5GB; do not increase it past that on RELENG_7, as there isn't support for more than 2GB total. For example, on a 1GB memory machine, I often recommend 768M. On 2GB machines, 1536M. You will need to run -CURRENT if you want more." a great day, v > > Thanks, > > Weldon > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
