Hi,

I have two unrelated questions (each with subquestions :):

1. What is the state of threads in FreeBSD?  Are there kernel threads? 
Can threads from a single process be scheduled across multiple
processors in an SMP system?

2.  I have seen some mentions of low limits for outstanding aio requests
on FreeBSD.  What are the current limits (eg. number of file descriptors
with aio requests, number of aio requests, etc.) per process and system
wide?

Thanks,

Jan Mikkelsen
