The below example is for SMP, Quotas, and Firewall support. Sources must be installed to recompile the kernel. If sources are not on the server type: /stand/sysinstall and go to configure>Package>Sources. cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf cp GENERIC SMP edit the SMP file and add the following under the options section: #Added options
If you’re a Linux user troubleshooting memory issues with your server, knowing which files are taking up the most space can be invaluable information. Luckily, you can have Linux find large files and organize them by size by combining a few simple commands. The du command determines the size of
