Currently, the defaults are: kern.ipc.semmni: 10 kern.ipc.semmns: 60
but there are several nontrivial pieces of software that would use much more; two examples are PostgreSQL (the database) and Mono (the .net clone). I'd like to increase these defaults to: kern.ipc.semmni: 50 kern.ipc.semmns: 300 If I'm reading it correctly, each semaphore takes around 12 bytes (times SEMMNS), allocated with kernel malloc at boot time. This change is not as critical as before since both are now loader tunables, but increasing the defaults would be a convenience move, to save some reconfiguration-and-reboot hassle when installing software. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
