Curious about loader.conf variables that I had to edit out
Cross-posting two thee lists (here latter two, so more who may know may read...) These settings removed, from /boot/loader.conf, fixed a hosed current/custom kernel bootup (v11 of April 2016) that was a showstopper here... so one of those lines below may be an obvious problem someone knows about (either the sysctl, or value assigned to it...) Otherwise, some/all may be fodder for one's own loader.conf if they are viable; each had a reason per a website or blog or wiki or list email obviously, at one time. (twelve years in compilation altogether so far...) # out snd_pcm_load="YES" # out snd_acm_load="YES" # out kern.msgbufsize="130000" # out kern.ipc.shmmni="1024" # out kern.ipc.shmseg="1024" # out hw.snd.maxautovchans="4" # out hw.snd.targetirqrate="36" # out hint.pcm.0.buffersize="65536" # out hw.snd.verbose="3" # out kern.ipc.semmns="240" # out kern.ipc.semume="40" # out kern.ipc.semmnu="120" # out vfs.read_max="128" # out kern.randompid="1" # out kern.ipc.shmmax="67108864" # out kern.ipc.shmall="32768" # out vm.kmem_size="700M" # out vm.kmem_size_max="700M" # out vfs.zfs.arc_max="250M" # out kern.sched.preempt_thresh="224" # out vfs.usermount="1" # out kern.geom.part.check_integrity="0" # out vm.overcommit="1" # out kern.maxfilesperproc="65536" # out kern.ipc.somaxconn="1024" # out kern.ipc.nmbclusters="81920" # out kern.fallback_elf_brand="3" # out vfs.write_behind="0" Not urgent but may save some time and trouble if I am careless upon uncommenting the line and it all goes south... from a PBKAC or similar.
