One tries to be more careful with kernel resources and the other is a lot simpler to get right :-) > > The only sysctls i change in order to work with such > number of threads are kern.maxfiles and kern.ipc.maxsockets, > but they are not about threads. > > Regards, > Andriy Tkachuk. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-threads@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-threads > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-threads-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
