No, it's caused by running out of kernel VM. The system must be carefully tuned in order to run with that much memory. If you have bounce-buffers configured, take that out. Also take out anything else you don't need and be careful with options like NMBCLUSTERS and maxusers. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
