I assume this is the default for MAXSSIZ? and if I change that in the
kernel config, it will
allow bigger? Where is this default defined?
The default value is platform dependent. On amd64 it's 512MB, so I'm
not sure where your value is coming from. It's defined in a header.
You can set it in the kernel configuration, or as a tunable or sysctl.
ok, so I had (back when, heaven only knows) set it in /boot/loader.conf:
kern.maxssiz="2147483648"
thank you.
