Hi. Question : my personal workstation is a web server (light hits), DNS server (again, almost non-existant hits as primary for a few zones) and mail server (secondary MX for my production machine; hardly used). It's basically used as a X windows workstation. Are the following kernel settings necessary/optimal for a P200 with 98MB of RAM ? (this is included to "enable" efficient usage of the 512kb motherboard cache) options "PQ_LARGECACHE" #enable 512kb+ l2 cache support (the impression I got was that the larger this number was, within reason, the better the performance) maxusers 256 (I don't know actually why this is in here) options "NMBCLUSTERS=4096" (to enable good/efficient disk utilisation) options SOFTUPDATES (to enable bus mastering of my IDE drives) controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 flags 0xa0ffa0ff controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 flags 0xa0ffa0ff --- Khetan Gajjar (!kg1779) * khetan@iafrica.com ; khetan@os.org.za http://www.os.org.za/~khetan * Talk/Finger khetan@chain.freebsd.os.org.za FreeBSD enthusiast * http://www2.za.freebsd.org/ Security-wise, NT is a OS with a "kick me" sign taped to it To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
