Hello world,
as the subject says: how do I increase the number of kernel mbufs?
I have looked around the kernel files, and found a parameter called
NMBCLUSTERS, which (unless defined directly) is computed as a function
of MAXUSERS. Since I'm new to kernel hacking, I'd like some
confirmation that I'm on the right track before proceeding...
So, *if* this *is* the correct parameter to modify, is there an
"official" way of defining it in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/MYKERNEL,
or do I have to do tweak the Makefile in /usr/src/sys/compile/MYKERNEL
manually?
And, if this *isn't* the right one, then which one is (and how do
I go about modifying it)?
Gerhard
P.S.: Note that I don't want to increase MAXUSERS summarily, but
only the number of mbufs separately.
