From: Hiten Pandya To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: bmah@packetdesign.com Subject: Re: docs/32020: loader.8 manpage missing tunables Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 04:25:37 -0800 (PST) Environment 5.0-CURRENT user i think, it would be great if we had a central file, (some sort of SGML or plain text file) which had all the tunables also categorized... this would make it easier for people, as they can visit the file and know which tunables are available on a given version of FreeBSD. BTW, a patch which adds kern.maxusers (v. important) to the loader.8 man page, as there was only kern.ipc.nmbclusters in the file... =Hiten = *** 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 ===== -Hiten, Thank You, Yours Sincerely, Hiten Pandya, __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo!
