I have a question about tuning FreeBSD systems, specifically in regard to
memory. At one time on Solaris systems it was recommended to keep scan rate
below 200 pages per second. (Today it's 300 pages per second, dependent on
the amount of memory, class of system.) Are there any recommendations o
This week I started seeing this in my syslog:
kernel: Approaching the limit on PV entries, consider increasing either
the vm.pmap.shpgperproc or the vm.pmap.pv_entry_max sysctl.
I changed the shpgperproc to 800 from 200, but I am still getting the
message. These are my current settings:
vm.
Couldn't find any real explanation of these parameters online, but I
noticed they appear to have disappeared in 4.8.
I have a 4.6 system that shows the following parameters when sysctl -a
is executed:
vfs.aio.max_aio_per_proc: 72
vfs.aio.max_aio_queue_per_proc: 1024
vfs.aio.max_aio_procs: 32
vfs.

They should really kill the htdig project already ;)
