I am curious about two particular sysctl's, they are described as vm.stats.vm.v_wire_count: Wired pages vm.max_wired: System-wide limit to wired page count Now to me that sounds like v_wire_count should never get higher than max_wired, yet today I have a v_wire_count that is ~40% above the max_wired. vm.stats.vm.v_wire_count: 938417 vm.max_wired: 662820 So is this an error or do these two work differently than they appear?
