In 5.x the LINT config file is dynamically generated from various NOTES files -- it's the NOTES files that have all the useful comments and stuff, whereas the LINT config generated from them has been stripped down. NOTES is divided into architecture dependent and architecture independent parts -- use: % find /usr/src/sys -name NOTES -print to locate what you need. The point of splitting up NOTES in this way is to avoid having to make the same set of edits to half a dozen or so kernel configs whenever anything generic changes.

Re: maxproc is automatically adjusted?
Thanks, i read it. I also found this: # The `maxusers' parameter controls the static sizing of a number of # internal system tables by a formula defined in subr_param.c. # Omitting this parameter or setting it to 0 will cause the system to # auto-size based on physical memory. And looking at some source files: maxusers = physpages / (2 * 1024 * 1024 / PAGE_SIZE) PAGE_SIZE is the amount of swap as reported in pfstat -s? I wasnt able to find out what physpages are only this: voidinit_param2(long physpages); But that still didnt give me a clue what it shoud represent, any hints here? maxproc = physpages / 12; maxprocperuid = (maxproc * 9) / 10; Would physpages be the amount of available RAM? In my case with 512 MB of RAM I'll get kern.maxproc: 4036 So in my case physpages is 49032? Bye, Mipam. On Tue, 23 Mar 2004, Kevin D.

Okay, i found LINT, that is, in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf i did make LINT and the file was created. But i still didnt find the answers i was looking for, like kern.maxusers seems to be sized automatically based on you hardware? And so maxproc etc?

Does that get you the source? I don't know--I don't use cvsup, and I'm locked into 4.8 at the moment. So I can't help further.

I obtained 5.2.1-p3 by cvsup. I still cannot find the file LINT, it doesnt seem to be there. Where can i find it?

For 4.8 and that era, if you installed the source when installing FreeBSD, look for /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT Try: % cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf % config LINT % cd ../../compile/LINT % make depend % make % ls -l kernel Note you probably don't want to install this kernel. rip ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thanks for your answer. I only dont know where to find the LINT file in the src tree. in /usr/src i tried find . -name LINT but no result. (sorry for this luser question).

maxproc is automatically adjusted?
Hi, I noticed that kern.maxproc was different than i expected. Same goes for maxusers. It seems FreeBSD sizes these values according to your system? I couldnt find any info upon this, whether this is happening and how and on bases upon what it sizes these sysctl's. Can anybody give me more info on this?
