I was wondering about that setting... if I read the kernel config doco, it says that the maxusers settingallow (20+16)*maxusers processes. So, with maxusers=1024, there'd be "room" for 32,768 simultaneous processes. Does maxusers pre-allocate resources in some way? Are there metrics on this? -- Juha To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
