When I get a moment I'll see if I can find anything on this on the current@ archive. Looks like all are loadables, so need to be defined in /boot/loader.conf and can only be changed on a boot with the exception of hw.ibrs_disable which is settable either at boot or via sysctl. Looks like that is the one to twiddle to check on impact. I'm currently updating my stable system as this hit the tree after my morning updates. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
