Thanks in advance. This is a statistic problem. "$vmstat -z | grep Mbuf" gives accurate numbers. It is possible to have correct stats in netstat -m output, but at the cost of an additional atomic operation for every allocation. As these are very expensive (esp. on P4) it was decided to not care that much about this special statistics. If the command above gives normal numbers (third column) the cause must be somewhere else. You can try to build a debugging kernel and see if that turns anything up. -- /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCENehXyyEoT62BG0RAso7AJ9Z81T6fOJ0P7TrOgewf/vvQCJG9QCbBYAN QwkeLYeK07fmNdxlcRCX+js= =ZvAD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----help
