It would appear that the maximum value for vm.kmem_size is twice the amount of "avail memory" - as opposed to the "real memory". I have 6GB installed; 6144MB gets detected but only 5873MB is available. Setting vm.kmem_size to 12G fails but 10G works. -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
