I am wondering why FreeBSD has fixed number of buffer headers (nbuf) while Linux can grow the number of buffer headers on the fly. In FreeBSD, we have a lofreebuffers count. I think this is a reserve for avoiding deadlock when the buffer headers are low. But Linux does not seem to have such a counter. How do they solve this problems? What's the pros and cons of these two different schemes? Any help is appreciated! -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
