​Forgot to mention, this server is running 64-bit FreeBSD 9.3-p5.​  That
sysctl OID doesn't exist.

​From the sounds of the comments on that revision, this would probable be a
useful feature to have.

I'll have to see about upgrading this system (there's a separate pool for
the OS), I guess.

Which FreeBSD version(s) include that feature?  Would 10.3 be okay, or
would I have to go all the way to 11.0?

Hrm, maybe I'll play with an updated mfsBSD USB stick instead, and see if
things work better with that, first.

Thanks for the info!!
