This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigC8D75864FCF47486FD70E502 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Pietro Cerutti wrote: > This is the expected result, and also the result I get from my single > CPU Pentium 3, running 6.3-RELEASE: >=20 > kern.smp.cpus: 1 > kern.smp.active: 0 > kern.smp.maxcpus: 1 >=20 > From my single CPU sparc64, running 7.0-PRERELEASE, I get: >=20 > kern.smp.cpus: 1 > kern.smp.active: 0 > kern.smp.maxcpus: 16 <-- why not 1?? maxcpus is the maximum number of CPUs supported by the kernel. I.e. if the kernel is UP, maxcpus is 1, if the kernel is SMP, maxcpus is 16. This means (though you probably won't care) that if you have a 32-CPU machine, ony 16 of them will be used by the SMP kernel. --------------enigC8D75864FCF47486FD70E502 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHmJaAldnAQVacBcgRAlBkAKCXEg8EbCCtyFUCfkNyNZak7mxPEACg6rzf u6+OMQJ5AWqXQT5KrLXDRac= =L4JJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigC8D75864FCF47486FD70E502--
