They're discussed practically on a monthly basis on the mailing lists (either freebsd-fs or freebsd-stable). Keeping track of them is almost impossible at this point, which is also probably why the Wiki is outdated. See my other follow-up post to the OP regarding what most of the tunings should be. On an 8.0 system, there may be some tunings I listed off that won't work (loader(8) will complain "no such tunable" and won't boot). I think the UMA tunable is one of those. Please don't ask me "how was I supposed to know about any of this?" -- basically folks are ""expected"" to follow every single CVS or SVN commit to the FreeBSD tag you track/use, and are expected to read the diffs when there's a commit and "figure it out themselves". The release notes between 8.x and 8.x+1 don't disclose tunable changes either. If you don't like this model/approach, there are appropriate channels to send your complaints through -- but I myself simply gave up. -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
