The question actually is how much memory I should allocate for kernel (exactly, what numbers should be placed into /boot/loader.conf in vm.kmem_size and vm.kmem_size_max) and what amount of kernel memory depends on and how I could calculate kernel memory needs. Trivial answer "just try to experiment" is not definitely enough. :) First of all, this process can be _extremely_ lengthy: about two months ago I have tried to "brute force" guess vm.kmem* values to start using ZFS on my desktop at work: two weeks for testing is very large amount of time, and, as said by Dijkstra, "testing can only show us presence of bugs, and not their absence": "cvs -z 5 -g up -P -d" done in /usr/ports (very good test to crash your machine if you're using ZFS because of heavy usage of ZFS POSIX name resolution cache) stopped crashing my box, but I can't say that any other test will not crash it. Second, the machine in question operates unattended, and our technical support engineers are not qualified enough to tweak boot loader parameters, as such, I should constantly monitor this server what I don't wish to do. :) -- С уважением, Андрей Кольчугин. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
