I would guess that PAGE_SIZE clusters aren't as bad as 16K clusters w.r.t. fragmentation, but I believe that they could still be an issue. (My testing was on a 256Mbyte i386, so I can't say if amd64 systems will have a problem, just that small 32bit arches will.) rick > > --HPS > > > > Hi, > > Updated patch attached. > > --HPS > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-net_at_freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-net-unsubscribe_at_freebsd.org"Received on Tue Jul 08 2014 - 17:39:54 UTC
