maxfiles == maxfilesperproc ?

1999-07-19 Thread Gregory Sutter
hax0rs, In sys/conf/param.c (in -STABLE), both maxfiles and maxfilesperproc are set equal to MAXFILES. This doesn't make much sense to me. It seems that maxfiles should be set to be greater than maxfilesperproc by default, so that one process can't consume all of the file descriptors. I noticed

Max simultaneous NFS mounts?

What is the (default) maximum number of simultanous NFS mounts in FreeBSD 2.2.8 and 3.2? I was looking at 3.2 and it appears that 63 is the max, and this is tunable with kernel config option NFS_MUIDHASHSIZ. Is this correct? What is the maximum possible setting? Last, where could I have found
