hi- i've been running 4-STABLE on a mailserver for about a year now. the machine runs qmail, courier-imap, and little else. it does virus scan every email that crosses it, so it's a dual PIII-800. usually, i cvsup every 2-3 weeks to track 4-STABLE; this has never caused a problem for me. right now, i'm the kernel is built from sources from 2/15/02. for the last 2-3 days, i've noticed syslog messages like the one in the subject line. the entries look like this: Feb 20 12:41:38 mx1 /kernel: m_clalloc failed, consider increase NMBCLUSTERS value Feb 20 12:42:09 mx1 last message repeated 28 times Feb 20 12:44:10 mx1 last message repeated 95 times Feb 20 12:50:08 mx1 last message repeated 265 times Feb 20 13:04:32 mx1 last message repeated 144 times Feb 20 13:10:10 mx1 last message repeated 276 times when this happens, the machine drops off the network for 5-10 minutes before magically reappearing. i did some searches of the freebsd archives, and didn't find many references to the error message above. what little i did find looked like it related to special kernel parameters that are needed for certain gigabit ethernet drivers (ti) - this machine has a Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B (fxp0). nothing has changed on this machine in the last 10 days (or 100, for that matter) except the normal buildworld.kernel upgrade process. the machine load and the amount of SMTP traffic shows no spikes. i'd greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. please cc me with any replies; i'm not subscribed to the list. thanks- dan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
