Note that vfs.ufs.dirhash_reclaimage is not used to shield ufs_dirhashmem entries, rather all entries older than reclaimage are evicted from the cache on vm_lowmem before evicting a percentage of the oldest remaining entries. If it has been hours since a kernel vm_lowmem event, most of the entries in the cache can be lost due to a momentary memory spike. Also note, under kernel memory pressure continuous vm_lowmem events will effectively extinguish the ufs_dirhash cache, returning its memory to the kernel. I believe this prevents the ufsdirhash cache from in any way contributing to a kernel panic, so bumping vfs.ufs.dirhash_reclaimage to 60 should be riskless. -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/Suggest-changing-dirhash-defaults-for-FreeBSD-9-2-tp5839351p5839769.html Sent from the freebsd-stable mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
