What is evil abuot large maxusers? We have a crashing server (Pentium II-400) with maxusers set to 320. In a previous email to -hackers that I have since lost :I it was mentioned that you could lower maxusers, and the, by hand, up the MBUFs and NPROCs in the config file. However I have grepped the entire kernel source tree, and I can see that MAXUSERS is only used to set MBUFs and NPROCS (and other things derive from there, suich as MAXFILES). Why therefore will MAXUSERS=320 crash my system, while setting MAXUSERS to 64, and adjusting MBUFs and NPROCS by hand will not? -- David Cross To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
