Routing message of 5th type is "Kernel suspects >partitioning" message (see route(4) and /usr/src/sys/netinet/in_pcb.c). >What is the value of maxusers in your kernel config? Well, I read through (as best I could) man 4 route, and I'm not very sure exactly what the routing message #5 still means? Kernel suspects partitioning, but of what or how? I'm also not sure of what i'm looking at in /usr/src/sys/netinet/in_pcb.c.... it will take me a few days to muddle through the code and man pages to understand better what i'm looking at in there. As for maxusers, I have it set to 30. Right now I'm in the middle of a make buildworld, but this Routing message has also popped up when I'm NOT doing a build. At that time, typically 3 people are logged in (using screen, typically), each with 3 or fewer screens open.
