Re: loader.conf issues
Thanks, I meant to update this earlier, it appears that the kmem tunables need a larger cast in 7.x (to use beyond 4GB kernel memory map), I opened a ticket yesterday. If memory serves me right, sometime around Yesterday, [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Weldon S Godfrey 3 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribió: I did a quick search for this and didn't see anyone seeing this. I am running 7.0-PRERELEASE amd64 This is my loader.conf: vm.kmem_size_max="16106127360" vm.kmem_size="1073741824" kern.maxvnodes="80" I've always changed those variables in /etc/sysctl.conf ed However, this is what happens after reboot: store1# sysctl -a | grep kmem vm.kmem_size_scale: 3 vm.kmem_size_max: 3221225472 vm.kmem_size_min: 0 vm.kmem_size: 1073741824 store1# sysctl -a | grep kern.maxvn kern.maxvnodes: 10 store1# Is there some issue with vm.kmem_size_max being larger than 3G? If this has been fixed, let me know. I am using 7.0-RELEASE loader from amd64 iso since for some reason, when I complile a new loader on this Dell 2950-iii, I get an unusable loader (it just hangs before the screen to select safe mode, single user mode, etc).

Quote Jeremy Chadwich talking about vm.kmem_size: "1) Consider increasing it from 512M to something like 1.5GB; do not increase it past that on RELENG_7, as there isn't support for more than 2GB total. For example, on a 1GB memory machine, I often recommend 768M. On 2GB machines, 1536M. You will need to run -CURRENT if you want more." a great day, v > > Thanks, > > Weldon > ___ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
