Hi All:

Need some advice on the dtrace_dof_maxsize parameter.

I have a script that is hitting the DOF size limits. Changing the 
"dtrace_dof_maxsize" from 256K to 512K in /etc/system fixes my immediate 
problem. We are planing to extensively use my D-script. So just want to make 
sure that it is reasonably safe to increasing dtrace_dof_maxsize system wide. 

My gut feel is that this should be okay as dtrace_dof_maxsize is just used as a 
check to see if the DOF size is reasonable.

Also does anyone see a problem modifying this using mdb -k. I'm just concerned 
about the ominous warning about it in dtrace.c
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/dtrace/dtrace.c#96

Finally does it make sense to increase the default for dtrace_dof_mazsize from 
256K to 512K. We are  now seeing larger and larger D-scripts. I can file an RFE 
if this sounds reasonable.

Thanks

Angelo
