One of my servers had a spontaneous restart.  The logs show,

Mar 11 07:00:08 NAME/kernel.old: Out of mbuf clusters - adjust
NMBCLUSTERS \
or increase maxusers!


Two approaches are suggested here, but I am not clear which is better,
preferred and especially why.

FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE #6: Mon Jan 24 17:07:40 PST 2000
CPU: Pentium II/Xeon/Celeron (686-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x652  Stepping = 2
Features=0x183fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR>
real memory  = 268435456 (262144K bytes)    


1.  Rebuild the kernel with maxusers from 92 current to say 124 maxusers.
    
or

2.  use sysctl to change

kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 1984  <--current
  to a bigger number.                

Thanks
jeff
