I've been noticing that my Alpha has a whole lot more memory devoted to mbufs than my other machines of similar -current vintage. Under little to no use a netstat -m gives 132/320 mbufs in use 95 mbufs allocated to data 63 mbufs allocated to headers .. 352Kbytes allocated to network (30% in use) I'm used to seeing figured of near 0 when my other machines have been idling (and considering I'm not running any large servers, I rarely see anything approaching those numbers). One practical upshot of this is that on builds from an NFS mounted dir even just a plain ports build will generally fail with mbuf exhaustion. I know i could probably up my mbuf counts, but it would seem to me that either we're leaking or not making good use of our space. (And actaully, at times when I've hit mbuf exhaustion, rebooting was the only way to set things straight :/) Is NFS just a known bug at the moment?
