Does this also apply today? I recently read from someone on a mailing
list that the kld_list in rc.conf is no longer needed, that any
problems
it used to solve are solved, and that the preferred way is to load
everything from loader.conf. So I'm curious, what's the right thing to
do then? (I load most of my modules from rc.conf)
Either or for filemon. Either rc.conf's kld_list or loader.conf's
filemon_load=YES. I've been recommending loader.conf since there's
slightly less memory fragmentation, but even that effect is small. Only
drm kmod has to be in kld_list.
I'm a bit confused. If I understand it right, you say loader.conf causes
less memory fragmentation, but DES said "it still increases low memory
fragmentation". So what is true? And is this something to watch out for,
or is memory fragmentation not such a big deal?
Kind regards
