Hi, on a system running FreeBSD 12.0 I want to run MongoDB (in a jail). According to https://vermaden.wordpress.com/tag/mongodb/ I tried to increase kern.maxproc. The default value was 99999. For testing purposes I first add kern.maxproc=100000 to /boot/loader.conf and rebooted: the value has not changed; the same result editing /boot/loader.conf.local. Only if I edit /boot/defaults/loader.conf the value changed to 100000. Are there other restrictions on kern.maxproc? Later I found all other entries in /boot/loader.conf are also ignored. BTW, I found "#define PID_MAX 99999" in /usr/src/sys/sys/proc.h. Is it possible to set kern.maxproc greater 100000 if all pids are from the interval [0, 99999] and unique? Thanks in advance.
