Re: FBSD 5.2.1-p4 and mysqld problems [RESOLVED]

Hi Daryl,

I will try kernel option MAXDSIZ.
We are using FreeBSD-5.X-CURRENT in production servers for over 1 year.
Everything seems to be working fine. Even we are using CURRENT machines for
firewall.
By the way when the network stack commit will be done?
