Hi ,
I am using FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE on a m/c with 2046MB RAM
Is it possible to fine tune the kernel to increase the malloc(9) pool to
1024 MB
Can it be done by adjusting ( LOAD_ADDRESS, VM_KMEM_SIZE
& NKPDE ) ??
If so what is the maximum that i can go.
Thanx
Soumen

I have an IBM Thinkpad T20 and, after a snificant amount of pain, have been

fine as csa0 and pcm0. The memory range and irq in the pci config all

No. Could you describe your problem in more detail?

That is only if the write is to a file within a partition mounted
as an FFS file system. vn_write() contains the VOP_WRITE switch, which
will switch to the write implementation based on the vnode type. VOP_WRITE

vector at the offset

I'd like to have it translated as well. Has anyone tried running natd o

Ah, you mean just like FreeBSD's "traceroute -P tcp" does?

I had some PPPoE issues so I did a cvsup of FreeBSD 3.4 to
help fix them. An unfortunate consequence of this is that
pty's seem to be broken now with respect to certain TERMIO
operations, which breaks my VPN system completely (thus
leaving the client in question with a partly broken WAN).

Modern disks pack different ammounts of data on different
tracks.. (the outside tracks are longer right?)
so at a constant speed (rpm) outside tracks have more data passing
below the head per given time than teh inside tracks do...
this seems pretty normal to me..

FYI: It seems that if you try to access the serial port on a MB with the
port disabled, freebsd 4.1 will freeze up solid. Enabling the serial

as well.

If I understand correctly, traceroute works by sending pings with ttl=1,
ttl=2,ttl=3 etc and records the names of the routers where the ttl reaches
zero.
However, an increasing number of sites believes in security by obscurity,
and blocks for pings.
