dtrace discuss - Apr 2010 - dtrace_dof_maxsize parameter and its effects

Hi All:

Need some advice on the dtrace_dof_maxsize parameter.

I have a script that is hitting the DOF size limits. Changing the
"dtrace_dof_maxsize" from 256K to 512K in /etc/system fixes my
immediate problem. We are planing to extensively use my D-script. So just want
to make sure that it is reasonably safe to increasing dtrace_dof_maxsize system
wide.

My gut feel is that this should be okay as dtrace_dof_maxsize is just used as a
check to see if the DOF size is reasonable.

Also does anyone see a problem modifying this using mdb -k. I''m just
concerned about the ominous warning about it in dtrace.c
http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/dtrace/dtrace.c#96

Finally does it make sense to increase the default for dtrace_dof_mazsize from
256K to 512K. We are  now seeing larger and larger D-scripts. I can file an RFE
if this sounds reasonable.

Thanks

Angelo
