Anyone have any ideas? Need. More. Input. ;-) Maybe you need to enable hardware virtualisation support in the host. My amd64 VMs are happy with the emulated PIIX3 chipset. Try removing the IDE controller in the guest and replace it with the SATA controller. -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ From owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Tue Jun 30 09:22:30 2015 Return-Path: <owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Delivered-To: freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0642D98C52E for <freebsd-questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org>; Tue, 30 Jun 2015 09:22:30 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from woodsb02@gmail.com) Received: from mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (mailman.ysv.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::50:5]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DBD4513DB for <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org>; Tue, 30 Jun 2015 09:22:29 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from woodsb02@gmail.com) Received: by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) id DAAD298C52D; Tue, 30 Jun 2015 09:22:29 +0000 (UTC) Delivered-To: questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:1900:2254:206a::19:1]) by mailman.ysv.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DA1AB98C52A for <questions@mailman.ysv.freebsd.org>; Tue, 30 Jun 2015 09:22:29 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from woodsb02@gmail.com) Received: from mail-vn0-x22b.google.com (mail-vn0-x22b.google.com [IPv6:2607:f8b0:400c:c0f::22b]) (using TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 (128/128 bits)) (Client CN "smtp.gmail.com", Issuer "Google Internet Authority G2" (verified OK)) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTPS id 9634113DA for <questions@freebsd.org>; Tue, 30 Jun 2015 09:22:29 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from woodsb02@gmail.com) Received: by vnbg1 with SMTP id g1so136911vnb.7 for <questions@freebsd.org>; Tue, 30 Jun 2015 02:22:28 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=20120113; h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :cc:content-type; bh=Lln3KncV/fAP8/12gs3BT1R9YG3C7whC2xV3+oL1Iyw=; b=K/EDkcUtZtOx3SiyAAhJ7TjBdY3otOXwnCG7LGALQz/v4TijS4FYeqQaA+ldV0xDkJ o+JSqCHV4Wh2YBhZq6uD0t6NnBG3MnfCnZwFdEZ3AUF/SPvgnR03Kan4JjDwT5LmTAwC C0gtzWZ2qZPryWgNBWsyw4m/kh9rZFf9gBY20EhIMcGmdrDrp0W7sj3IYhTsXRkuEwDe F9Muuu2ZsTNNPLuvbpWF4+AOYBTGeXS/J+SJt3tqFU13J7AAWGo3ZqXl+NVfFkdO/eqK nOR+JudvVyHcWCyM1+b34dxBYLdaMJV8cHJBrSu6pNEO0tz9zqzExrx6Kwl7Crg6Ck2E ltWg== MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Received: by 10.52.181.167 with SMTP id dx7mr18655821vdc.91.1435656148409; Tue, 30 Jun 2015 02:22:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.31.3.198 with HTTP; Tue, 30 Jun 2015 02:22:28 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <wu7lhf127n4.fsf@banyan.cs.ait.ac.th> References: <wu7lhf127n4.fsf@banyan.cs.ait.ac.th> Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2015 17:22:28 +0800 Message-ID: <CAOc73CCz0T6rtsiXBGseBWXs6ShFjQ6BifkqDbtORfQEEcHrHg@mail.gmail.com> Subject: Re: kern.ipc.nmbclusters limit reached From: Ben Woods <woodsb02@gmail.com> To: Olivier Nicole <Olivier.Nicole@cs.ait.ac.th> Cc: "questions@freebsd.org" <questions@freebsd.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 X-Content-Filtered-By: Mailman/MimeDel 2.1.20 X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.20 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions <freebsd-questions.freebsd.org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/options/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/>; List-Post: <mailto:freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> List-Help: <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=help> List-Subscribe: <http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions>, <mailto:freebsd-questions-request@freebsd.org?subject=subscribe> X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2015 09:22:30 -0000 On Tuesday, June 30, 2015, Olivier Nicole <Olivier.Nicole@cs.ait.ac.th> wrote: > Hi, > > Since I updated my amanda server to 10.1, I cannot complete a back-up, > the system will freeze in the middle of the dumps with bunches of error: > > Jun 30 09:37:16 amanda kernel: [zone: mbuf_cluster] kern.ipc.nmbclusters > limit reached > > > The kernel is: > > FreeBSD amanda.cs.ait.ac.th 10.1-RELEASE-p9 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p9 #0 > r282829: Wed May 13 14:31:30 ICT 2015 root@amanda.cs.ait.ac.th:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC > amd64 > > and > > sysctl kern.ipc.nmbclusters > kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 253064 > > This ipc.nmbcluster seems terribly high (like 0.5 GB memory), but that's > the value set by the kernel by default!

This is a known issue, and the work around proposed by the pfsense project is to manually increased the nmbcluster limit: Add the following to /boot/loader.conf: kern.ipc.nmbclusters="1000000" https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Tuning_and_Troubleshooting_Network_Cards#Intel_igb.284.29_and_em.284.29_Cards Regards, Ben -- -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com
