FreeBSD me.some.com 4.1-STABLE FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE #0: Tue Sep 12 16:38:46 EDT 2000 me@me.some.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/KERN i386
>Description:
After cvsup'ing from 4.1-RELEASE to 4.1-STABLE, I'm getting some strange
output from netstat -m
me# 4294789544/432/16384 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
4294789540 mbufs allocated to data
4 mbufs allocated to packet headers
297/314/4096 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
736 Kbytes allocated to network (5440% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
I have found problem report kern/19809. This looks identical to the situation
there. However, I have only config'd 4K of mbufs. Here's some sysctl stuff
if it helps..
me# sysctl kern | grep mb
kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 4096
kern.ipc.mbuf_wait: 32
kern.ipc.mbtypes: 178151 4294789573 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
kern.ipc.nmbufs: 16384
I've also set maxusers to 256.
>How-To-Repeat:
Not sure if a different machine would do the same, yet, but add NMBCLUSERS = 4096,
change maxusers to 256 in GENERIC, build, reboot. Try netstat -m.
>Fix:
not sure, yet.
