Hi,

I am once again looking at a kstat output and trying to understand what some of 
these fields might mean and what their unit might be. Unfortunately the units 
aren't documented anywhere, are they?

biostats is probably the statistics for the ddi I/O buffers of Solaris that are 
accessible via bioinit(9f). So lookup and cache hits and misses are counted 
here. Unit is probably "each". 

Is there somewhere hidden a field that tells us how big the I/O buffers are? I 
can only see biostats' new_buffer_requests, but nothing that gives a hint how 
big the buffer currently is.

Concerning ufs_inode_cache and hsfs_hsnode_cache, I'd like to know what unit 
buf_inuse has. Is it kB or pages or something else?

TIA,
Tom
BTW: is the result sysconf(_SC_CPUID_MAX) the maximum id a processor can have 
or the maximum id no processor will ever have?
