In local.freebsd.questions you write: >Hi, >This article really grap my attention >http://www.byte.com/documents/s=1794/byt20011107s0001/1112_moshe.html >And then come to my mind, what I need to do to make my FreeBSD box run to its >limit. What should I do to make it really optimize, fast etc..? Oh, no. Someone please tell me there is a typo in here somewhere (from the article, under "System Tuning", in what seems to be describing parameters for FreeBSD [1]): "I also increased the maxusers value. This file sets the size of a number of important system tables. Setting maxusers to 4 lets you have up to 84 simultaneous processes, which is hardly enough for today's busy servers. I increased this value to 20." 20? GENERIC sets it to 32, and anyone running an even remotely "busy" will raise it to 128 or 256... I wonder where the figure "4" came from. GENERIC in FreeBSD 1.1 set MAXUSERS to 10, and it has never been lower than that, AFAIK. Sigh. More useless benchmarks. $.02, /Mikko 1) In which case it doesn't make sense to describe MAXUSERS as a "file"... -- Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com RSA Security To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
