This means that if one jail starts pounding at the disks the other jails will feel the disk get sluggish. But there's other ways of limiting jails, you can use login.conf to limit user memory and dummynet to limit per-jail bandwidth. -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.' http://www.morons.org/rants/gpl-harmful.php3 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
