Question about changing EnableSendfile to On?

[ghost]

After pulling the image we notice that EnableSendfile is set to on in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, whose default is Off.

However, the HttpD official document recommends to set EnableSendfile to Off to avoid operational problems when:

• Some platforms may have broken sendfile support that the build system did not detect, especially if the binaries were built on another box and moved to such a machine with broken sendfile support.
• On Linux the use of sendfile triggers TCP-checksum offloading bugs on certain networking cards when using IPv6.
• On Linux on Itanium, sendfile may be unable to handle files over 2GB in size.
• With a network-mounted DocumentRoot (e.g., NFS, SMB, CIFS, FUSE), the kernel may be unable to serve the network file through its own cache.

So I wonder if EnableSendfile should be changed back to "off" as default.
