Hi, Book research question. Way back in the Dark Ages of the 1990s, it wasn't uncommon to rebuild a kernel to fix a recurring panic. You'd have to tune MAXUSERS, or PMAP_SHPGPERPROC. AFAIK, dang near everything is tunable in either loader.conf or sysctl.conf. I really want to say that kernel rebuilds for these kinds of limits aren't needed any more. Does anyone have a counter-example, though? Is anything possibly crash-inducing non-tunable without a kernel rebuild? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
