Andre, we have a number of people running this patch in the
following configurations:

6-8GB ram + 10gigE ethernet using iozone over NFS.
As you haven't seen any problems yet I've asked RE to green light
the MFC.
RE has rejected the MFC out of fears for unexpected regressions.

That is unfortunate.  I guess re@ doesn't understand that FreeBSD
9.2 will be unusable out of the box for doing 10gigE for more than a
few microseconds.

Can we not just do my original patch that has the check for 64bit
pointers before unscaling maxusers?  That would be dirt simple and
just work with minimal risk.

IMHO, this is considered a new feature, and not a critical bug fix.  re@
asked from the start of the code slush to avoid new features, and at
this point, it is too late.  It is not worth introducing possible
regressions, which will only delay the 9.2-RELEASE.

Glen

OK, then we need a release notes telling people a sane value for nmbclusters and friends so that they know how to make 10gigE work.

I'll poll my team for a value if someone else has one, that would be even better.
