Hey there, don't know if this is appropriate for -questions or -chat, but it *is* a question, so here goes: On slashdot.org today there was a posting about Wcarchive hitting 1.39Tb of info in 24 hours. Yeah! :) In the comments section there were all sorts of pseudo-FUD going around about how Linux could probably handle the same load and blah blah blah. My question is--how "tweaked" is the kernel that is running ftp.cdrom.com? I believe I've seen some postings in -current from David Greenman about maxusers and other kernel parameters and he mentioned some settings that were used on wcarchive. Well, how "tweaked" is that kernel vs. a "stock" 4.0-current or 3.2-RELEASE kernel? Is it a matter of knowing what parameters to tweak in the config file or are there lots of actual code changes? Somebody mentioned on slashdot that that machine is actually "using" all 4Gb of RAM. Are special boot blocks needed for this? Just wondering how 'tweaked' things are on that machine compared to a "standard" FreeBSD installation.
