Hi all, If I'm understanding things correctly, the "maxswzone" value -- set by the kern.maxswzone loader tunable or to VM_SWZONE_SIZE_MAX by default -- should be approximately 9 MiB per GiB of swap space.
The current default for VM_SWZONE_SIZE_MAX was set in August 2002 to 32 MiB; meaning that anyone who wants to use more than ~ 3.5 GB of swap space ought to set kern.maxswzone in /boot/loader.conf. Is it time to increase this default on amd64? (I understand that keeping the value low on i386 is important due to KVA limitations, but amd64 has far more address space available...) -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
