I see so mention of kern.maxpipekva on the= =20 tuning man page, and greping only finds kern.ipc entries. % sysctl -a | grep pipekva kern.ipc.maxpipekva: 10485760 kern.ipc.maxpipekvawired: 5242880 kern.ipc.pipekva: 131072 kern.ipc.pipekvawired: 0 Are they the same, and if so, what's are the guidelines for increasing the= =20 number?
