X-X-Sender: ohartman@mail.physik.uni-mainz.de To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Some questions about undocumented KERNEL options Message-ID: <20011226181039.L476-100000@mail.physik.uni-mainz.de> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear Sirs. Can anyone tell me something about these kernel options: options ENABLE_VFS_IOOPT options KEY options LOUTB options FE_8BIT_SUPPORT options ENABLE_ALART I found no further documentation on this and so I would like to ask the community. What happens to a server if theses options are enabled? Do they offer performance hints assumed the kernel stays stable if enabled? What is the benefit or purpose of each of this options and in which cases they should get relevance to be switched on or off? Thank you very much .. Oliver -- MfG O.
