Perhaps you are running out of mbuf clusters? You should do a netstat -m to check this. If the peak values are close to max, you need to increase NMBCLUSTERS (or probably better maxusers) in you kernel config. These settings are also changeable via sysctls (in kern.ipc). If this is not the problem, could you please supply more debugging info (e.g. panic message, if possible backtrace)? - thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
