SPARC: dax_stats_flags Flag

Description

This parameter controls what dax kstats are collected by the dax driver. This parameter can be set through the /etc/system.d directory. See /etc/system.d/ Directory Files for more information. Alternatively, you can also use the mdb --kernel -w --unsafe-write-access command. To read the parameter's current value, use the mdb --kernel --unsafe-io-access dax_stats_flags/D. For information about the mdb --kernel -w --unsafe-write-access and mdb --kernel --unsafe-io-access commands, see kmdb Debugger Entry in Oracle Solaris Modular Debugger Guide and the mdb(1) man page. Note that you should use the ‐-kernel option instead of the obsolescent ‐k option.
