The kernel option in question is KVA_PAGES, correct? Because it's not defined in the custom server's kernel then it's value default to 256 (FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE), which makes the KVA space to occupy 1G. Then if I make KVA_PAGES=512 (KVA space 2G), will it solve the problem for this particular server having 4G of phisical memory, or must KVA_PAGES be 768 (KVA space 3G)? Have some other options to be tuned besides KVA_PAGES?
