It's more like I have too high expectations for FreeBSD, probably. You are right I guess, but all this talk about system auto-tuning for high capacity systems has not progressed to reality, as far as I know. The talk comes up occasionally and after some discussion about the benefits of such auto-tuning, dies off. Lack of manpower I guess, so I shut up. But that's the point why I made the "enterprise" comment. -- Vallo Kallaste To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
