I tried /boot/loader.conf but vfs.read_max still was default after the booting process. Putting it in /etc/sysctl.conf worked.

A lot of options once needed to be set in the loader.conf before the kernel started up, but the system is getting more flexible and some of those can be changed at runtime now I know i.e. that hw.ata.atapi_dma="1" needs to be set in /boot/loader.conf while others are set in /etc/sysctl.conf.

Is there info about this somewhere? Look at /boot/defaults/loader.conf, that ought to give you a good idea of what needs to be (or can be) set via that. Otherwise, try using sysctl to change things, and if they are marked read-only, then they needed to be changed earlier or by rebuilding the kernel with a different config. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Well, sysctl(8) refers to loader.conf(5), sysctl.conf(5), loader(8), which refer to /boot/defaults/loader.conf & /etc/sysctl.conf and don't forget the handboot and FAQ. > I read something about vfs.read_max="16" -> where do I set this I > wonder? Since sysctl.conf is read in only when going multi-user and that sounds like something you'd want always, I'd put it in loader.conf. > Is there info about this somewhere? Google? If you think it's needed, please write a PR (probably on /boot/default/loader.conf). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
