Hello. In my continuing quest to try and get i/o performance up on some NetBSD-5.1 production boxes I have, I find I have a question about the minimum and maximum sizes of a specific pool. Given the following snippet of output from vmstat -m, does the size 164, which I realize represents the number of objects in the pool, also represent the maximum number of objects in the pool? That is, if more than 164 instances of this object are needed, would the system be unable to provide the 165th instance or can it grow the pool to accomodate the request? If it does grow the pool, would the size value in vmstat -m change? If I've got it completely wrong, could someone elaborate?
