Aucbvax.4075 net.2bsd-bugs utzoo!decvax!ucbvax!dist2 Sun Sep 27 03:02:10 1981 warnings about param.h and localopts.h There are some words of warning which must be said about these files. Unfortunately, none of this was included in our distributed documentation.

o Most of the options are turned on regardless of whether they are defined as 0 or 1. To be turned off, an option should be commented out.

o UCB_CLIST depends on UCB_BUFOUT also being defined. This fact is hidden in a comment inside mch.s.

o There is no code for a value of UCB_NKB other than 1. Don't change this value to some other number. It won't work.

o If UCB_BUFOUT and UCB_MOUNT are defined, NABUF (in param.h) must be at least (NMOUNT + 1) / 2. If UCB_BUFOUT is defined but UCB_MOUNT is not defined, NABUF must be at least NMOUNT.
