You don't agree. I think this matter is documented now. I think it could be documented elsewhere or in more detail if someone wanted to do so, but that involves someone pointing to a specific manpage or section of the handbook, and submitting language. The people on freebsd-doc can help, deal with mdoc or Docbook formatting, etc. > Why don't the two of you talk about it in private email?

I've suggested a change to the sysctl's governing the syncer's timing, which ought to have a noticable impact on the issues Matthias has brought up. Feedback is welcome. (I generally am happy to look into changes and see if they are improvements.) > At this point, it's become a "Did to! Did not! Did to...." argument > between children.

Feel free to read other threads if you don't like what I have to say. -- -Chuck PS: Please refrain from stating my position for me, JT. I'd be happier if you quoted what I said and disagreed honestly with it.
