hello again
here are also three question about i think all (Free) *BSD's:
* how can i change the number of allocated buffers at bootup time (maybe in
the kernel sources) because i think (namely FreeBSD) takes about 20% of the
memory for buffers ?
* is anybody working on a linux-like buffer concept for *BSD (using most of
the actual free memory as buffers) - or is it still included in the latest
versions ?
* what does act, inact, and wirded memory mean (in top or vmstat) ?
again - thanks in advance - thomas
