Hello,
Due to increased traffic on a webserver I am running, it was necessary to
recompile the kernel with 10248 NMBCLUSTERS (previously the machine only had
the default available)
The kernel compiled and installed fine, but after rebooting the machine the
NMBCLUSTERS value is unchanged.
# netstat -m
4578/4864/18432 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
3530 mbufs allocated to data
1048 mbufs allocated to packet headers
3509/3762/4608 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
8740 Kbytes allocated to network (63% of mb_map in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
I decided to try to change the NMBCLUSTERS value in /boot/defaults/loader.conf
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="10248" # Set the number of mbuf clusters
This also had no effect on the system.
uname -a reveals that it does not look like the kernel has actually been
recompiled/reinstalled...
FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #5: Sat Apr 7 10:53:43 EDT 2001
Any ideas why my changes are not taking effect? I need to get that value raised
to handle all the new traffic.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!
Regards,
Kevin
