Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Oracle docs and permanent kernel settings
Hey all,
Just dumped my primary Windohs desktop at work in favor of Gentoo (yay!), and am installing O9iR2. As I'm browsing thru the Install docs as I am want to do prior to installs, I see that they recommend using:
echo "somevalue" >/proc/sys/kernel/someparm
...in the startup to set kernel values. Anyone know why Oracle wouldn't recommend just populating /etc/sysctl.conf (or /etc/sysconfig/* or whatever is available for your flavor of Linux). I used this on the RH installs I've done, and it works well. The echo method is a hack that just doesn't seem to be good practice to me.
Just wondering...
