Well, sysctl(8) refers to loader.conf(5), sysctl.conf(5), loader(8), which refer to /boot/defaults/loader.conf & /etc/sysctl.conf and don't forget the handboot and FAQ. > I read something about vfs.read_max="16" -> where do I set this I > wonder? Since sysctl.conf is read in only when going multi-user and that sounds like something you'd want always, I'd put it in loader.conf. > Is there info about this somewhere? Google? If you think it's needed, please write a PR (probably on /boot/default/loader.conf).
