Docs for kernel parms?

Anyone know of any documentation listing tunable kernel parameters including descriptions of each parm?

Thanks

Try

Code:

cat `locate -r kernel.*doc.*kernel-parameters\.txt` | less

On Fedora you need to install the kernel-doc package. Ubuntu may be different.

Thanks. Looks like the docs are under the same dir for RHEL and Ubuntu and they use the same pkg name of kernel-doc as you suggested.

Code:

/usr/src/doc/kernel-doc-<version>/Documentation/sysctl/
