But thats the point. I don't want to limit its size, I want it to take every available piece of memory it can find, while allowing applications to temporarely use large slabs of that same memory during their runtime. Just like I'm used to with UFS. :) > and I'm not sure if that ( vm.kmem_size="999M" > ,vm.kmem_size_max="999M") is such a good idea. Me neither. I'm pretty sure I will hit the "kmem map too small" scenario real quick. What is it you are testing with those settings Vladislav?
