On Sun, Mar 30, 2014 at 01:28:50AM -0700 I heard the voice of Chris H, and lo! it spake thus: > > Interesting. Given that every system I run has (default) value of > 65536. Can you, or anyone suggest what the correct, of better value > should be? Bigger :p On most of my systems, I've got options MSGBUF_SIZE=163840 in the kernel config. It's been carried around everywhere for many years. Where'd I get it from? I'm not sure. Before r56838 the default was 8k, so I'd guess I doubled it to 16k, then hit a time when it overflowed again and just lazily *10'd it. Even back with 256 meg systems, I didn't feel too bad about "wasting" 160k. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
