Then please let me know the name of it. I have experienced same situation several time. That is, I faced a problem and asked for it on ML. Then I was told to try some tunable. So I thought there may be tunable that can be used as workaround in this case. But for those who isn't familiar with kernel internal, it it quite hard to find it without knowing its name. If all tunable were listed with brief explanation in one document, then I saw it and could pick up possible candidates. But actually they are documented separately among many man pages. So the first difficulty is to find man page in which possible tunable may be explained. If the problem is releted to some device, it is most hopeful to check its man page. But in this case, even after reading the commit message, I had no idea which man page to check. --- Yasuhiro Kimura _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
