Log:
Various fixes to the "config and tuning" section of the Handbook.
* Reword the paragraph before a set of tunables for Linux, as
it wasa bit confusing.
The compat.linux.osrelease one needs to be removed. glibc behaves
differently based upon the value of it. It may refuse to do anything
if it doesn't understand the value. Changing the value of osrelease is
only advised in experimental situations (like in
http://wiki.freebsd.org/linux-kernel) and may result even in kernel
panics.
Thanks! Should I just remove the reference to compat.linux.osrelease,
or do we need to make other wider changes to the text around the area.
It currently reads:
[snip]
It's a chapter/paragraph about sysctl, not about linux. So remove the
compat.linux stuff here and you are safe. Feel free to use the
hw.snd.maxautovchans sysctl as an example (there are different default
values in -current than in some releases, I don't remember if I MFCed
the new default value to 6.2).
Adding an explanation to the linux chapter would be nice (except for
the panic part, this is specific to -current if you already have some
linux programs running and then change the osrelease). If you want to
change the linux chapter I try to come up with other missing facts for
this chapter (I have to read it when I get a little bit of time).
Bye,
Alexander.
