Most of those seem pretty low-level; do you think an administrator will need to tune them? Under what situations? How will they know how to properly set them? Does the standard require they be tunable? As you probably noticed, with Brussels we're trying to reduce the number of fiddly tunables for a variety of reasons. -- meem _______________________________________________ storage-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/storage-discuss
