| >From md(4): | | malloc Backing store is allocated using malloc(9). Only one malloc- | bucket is used, which means that all md devices with malloc | backing must share the malloc-per-bucket-quota. The exact size | of this quota varies, in particular with the amount of RAM in | the system. The exact value can be determined with vmstat(8). Yes, that's all fine and dandy, but my point was that I don't think the md driver should just block in the event that no memory is available to it. -Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
