Check /boot/defaults/loader.conf #kern.maxssiz=# Set the max stack size #kern.maxswzone= # Set the max swmeta KVA storage under NOTES it shows you how to add it in the kernel just place your settings in tunables instead hope that helps On Sat, 2005-11-12 at 22:25 -0600, David Kelly wrote: On Nov 11, 2005, at 9:15 PM, Dev Tugnait wrote: sysctl -a; man sysctl On Fri, 2005-11-11 at 18:38 -0600, David Kelly wrote: /usr/src/sys/conf/NOTES says: # 2.
