One of these days, perhaps, but I'm too busy with other things to do it anytime soon. >> for 2GB for user processes and 2GB for the kernel (contrast that with >> standard FreeBSD which is 3.75GB user and .25GB kernel). > >Does that mean the box will run with 4Gig of Memory (on the Xeon box)? The amount of physical memory that the machine supports is completely independant of the size of per-process/kernel virtual memory. I'm sure that FreeBSD/wcarchive will need further tweaking before working with 'full' memory, but I'll have to wait another month to find out. :-) -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
