We've been working on tweaking our new Supermicro Core 2 Duo servers (the same ones we had the infamouns IPMI port issue with a few weeks ago (thanks again to all who helped, esp. Jon Peatfield!)).
Anyway, I find parameters that seem to require ifconfig to tweak (txqueuelen) and parameters that seem to need changing via /etc/modprobe.conf (RxDescriptors, TxDescriptors). Is there a single way to handle both sets? I haven't tried txqueuelen in the modprobe.conf file, but RxDescriptorson the ifconfig line just barfed. I found an IBM RedPaper on RHEL tuning that helped a lot with network tuning in general, but I haven't found the answer to this one anywhere. Thanks, Miles
