While I'm on the rampage of new kernel config lines, there are
two things that I'd like to know how to change.
Currently, I have 24 meg of memory in my Sun4/260. While I
can accept that some machines with smaller amouns of memory may not
want it --- I was always of the school that 10% of memory was a good
number for the buffer cache in lieu of any better information.
I would like a 10% buffer cache for my box. The default
sseems to be along the lines of 5%.
The second thing that I'd like to change (I have to admit that
I am a power user) is the number of processes per user and the total
number of processes.
Dave.
