You gave me the figure of 100000 for kern.maxvnodes max limit. You sounded rather authoritative at the time, that a general purpose workstation wouldn't want more than that. You've so back peddled from this I'm sorry I took your suggested value. RU has complained I wasn't giving 0 attributes in commit messages, so I gave you attribution. I won't make that mistake again. So you're saying that a kern.maxvnodes of 150000 is a good default figure on a 4GB machine? If it bothers you that much I'll bump MAXVNODES_MAX or remove the limiting. I personally haven't needed kern.maxvnodes this high on a general purpose workstation or department server. > I'll say it again. It's a hard problem.

I'm scratching the 'panicing on lightly loaded 4GB systems isn't acceptable' itch since I'm itching all over. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
