I'd previously used the kernel option SMBCLUSTERS to set a high number, but a recent look through LINT doesn't show that option anymore, so I was wondering if it was still a recognized option, or some other method of tuning was preferred. netstat -m shows me running dangerously close to capacity, and I have been dropping packets from time to time, I believe by hitting capacity.
