Should this show up in sysctl -a along with the rest of kern.* ? I don't see it there.


    It won't (yet) because it is a *loader* tunable.  It is
    different from sysctl tunable.  I will add a readonly sysctl
    for it later on.

Okay, thanks. Meanwhile, is there any way for me to tell whether the kernel actually saw and honored the entry in loader.conf? Would I see error messages in the logs if something went wrong?

My DFly box has been running just fine for 12 hours -- I hope I'm
really testing the right code  ;o)
