Dealing with maxusers can be a bit confusing depending upon the approach taken. You may want to add a bit of additional information: maxusers number This optional directive is used to configure the size of some kernel data structures. number should be an integer between 2 and 512, or can be 0. From FreeBSD 4.5 onwards, the kernel will automatically size its tables according to the available physical memory if maxusers is not specified or is specified to be 0. As explained in tuning(7), this tunable can also be set on a running kernel using sysctl(8). <added> When maxusers is not specified and thus automatically sized, the default maximum is 384. To increase maxusers beyond 384 requires either a config entry or boot time override. As noted above, the config entry for maxusers is limited to 512. If a maxusers of 1024 is desired, an entry in /boot/loader.conf is required. </added> If the maxusers can be specified in multiple locations, the limits placed on the value should be similar/identical. Any differences in the way the value is treated should be well documented (or fixed). As we move into larger memory systems our current limitations need to be either removed or increased. Hope this helps. -JohnReceived on Fri Jul 04 2003 - 06:45:06 UTC
