The topic was originally raised when rwatson was making corrections to the tuning(7) man page. I am attaching a patch, which will add this tunable information to the loader(8) man page, which will make it clear for people that kern.maxusers can be set at boot time. >How-To-Repeat: Visit the loader(8) man page, and you will notice kern.maxusers is missing. :-) >Fix: *** loader.8.old Fri Dec 7 09:04:51 2001 --- loader.8 Fri Dec 7 09:04:59 2001 *************** *** 397,402 **** --- 397,411 ---- Other variables are used to override kernel tunable parameters. The following tunables are available: .Bl -tag -width Va + .It Va kern.maxusers + Sets the static sizing number of the internal + systems table. The tunable defaults to a very + low value. We recommend modifying the value + for this tunable to (default: 32) 64, 128 or + 256. Please do not assign a value higher + than 256 unless you need a huge amount of file + descriptors. Modifies kernel config(8) + .Va maxusers . .It Va kern.ipc.nmbclusters Set the number of mbuf clusters to be allocated. The value cannot be set below the default >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
