(FYI, the libc_r/KVA_PAGES > bug is now fixed in -STABLE.) He has rather unusual requirements compared to a lot of others. As I understand he runs hundreds of jails and has thousands of processes, putting real challenge to VM. All this means that FreeBSD isn't ready to enterprise yet, no matter what advocacy has to say. I'm glad Marc hasn't gave up and every now-and-then sends the findings out to lists, for the benefit of others, particularly developers. One word about "enterprise"; I'm sure Yahoo and similar big players run also FreeBSD on "big boxes", but they have real engineers in the field and have customised installations, I guess. Off-the-shelf FreeBSD isn't ready yet. -- Vallo Kallaste To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
