Is it possible to make the tuning of nmbclusters available after the kenrel is loaded. So that you don't have to reboot a server to get loader's changes to take effect? > when maxusers was above 256, but that hasn't been an issue for quite > some time. So one could go as high as.. 512? 1024? There has to still be drawbacks at some number where your wasting resources that you dont need just to get more mbuf's. I think that is why they are saying dont just jack up MAXUSERS. Use the NMBCLUSTERS=XXXX instead. Because that is usually the variable you want increased not the other parameters MAXUSERS increases. ============================================================================= -Chris Watson (316) 326-3862 | FreeBSD Consultant, FreeBSD Geek Work: scanner@jurai.net | Open Systems Inc., Wellington, Kansas Home: scanner@deceptively.shady.org | http://open-systems.net ============================================================================= WINDOWS: "Where do you want to go today?"
