It sets the maximum amount of memory that may be wired (i.e. marked as unswappable). Unfortunately, this is a rather fuzzy concept in FreeBSD, as it includes memory wired by userland applications using mlock(2), the unified buffer cache, and (if I'm not mistaken) memory wired by device drivers for DMA buffers and the like. There should be separate limits for all of these, and per-process limits for the first. Patches are welcome :) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - [email protected] _______________________________________________ varnish-misc mailing list [email protected] http://projects.linpro.no/mailman/listinfo/varnish-misc
