Hi,

not sure if this is a problem, but:

# sysctl -a | grep witness
debug.witness.child_cnt: 161
debug.witness.child_free_cnt: 3935
debug.witness.sleep_cnt: 235
debug.witness.spin_cnt: 0
debug.witness.free_cnt: 789
debug.witness.skipspin: 1
debug.witness.trace: 1
debug.witness.kdb: 1
debug.witness.watch: 1

# sysctl debug.witness.watch=0
debug.witness.watch: 1 -> 0

# sysctl debug.witness.watch=1
debug.witness.watch: 0
sysctl: debug.witness.watch: Invalid argument

Am I supposed to be able to turn witness off runtime, but not back on  
again?
