I can't take the machine out of production, so upgrading the OS really isn't an option. However, I have explicitly increased NMBCLUSTERS to 16384 (at the recommendation of another knowledgeable FreeBSD admin), and I haven't seen this cause any problems for me. Unfortunately, none of this seems to be related to my problem of having the error message described, or how I can eliminate this error message. -- These are my opinions and should not be taken as official Skynet policy ========================================================================= Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Sys.
