Hi,
where can I find documentation on the vm.defer_swapspace_pageouts
sysctl? LINT only mentions it, without explaining, man sysctl doesn't
mention it at all, and even Google yields very few useful results...
All I found in the source was this:
"Give preference to dirty pages in mem"
in src/sys/vm/vm_pageout.c, this is the description available from
sysctl -d
I was looking for a way to tune swap-usage a bit, I heard Linux has a
"swappiness" setting (telling the kernel how easy it should go with
paging out), and I hoped FreeBSD would have something similar.
vm.defer_swapspace_pageouts might do the trick, but so it seems to be
poorly documented...
Seems so. This might be a question better suited for hackers@ ... and
then passed on to doc@ ... I believe there's an effort currently going
on to document all sysctls ...
