Thanks for the quick response, but I've looked into the options in the kernel, and to no avail. No matter what I set the mbuf clusters to, it just fills up. The larger the amount of clusters, the longer it takes, but it still fills up. Unless you meant options LIBMCHAIN #mbuf management library In which case I'm not really sure how that would help me as it seems to just be there to aid smb and nfs in some way (hard to find details). Could you perhaps explain this to me?
