[comp.sys.sun] 4.1.1 kernel reconfiguration

klamer@mi.eltn.utwente.nl (Klamer Schutte) (05/24/91)

In order to get more available memory on our SS1 diskless clients i tried
to throw out the UFS code. This decreased the text from (roughly) 800kb to
700kb. When rebooting the machine the available memory showed 6.3 Mb. (On
a 8Mb machine). But on the kernel with UFS the available memory is 6.8 Mb!

My question is now: why does including UFS give more available memory?
Are there any buffers allocated? If so, do they improve performance?  Or
is it a bug?
