It seems to be related to both bugs #12394 and #9537. We get "no free buffer space avalaible" when trying to ping another computer and the only way to fix the problem is to restart the rl0 driver by doing a "ifconfig rl0 down; ifconfig rl0 up". We think it might come from an overload of the server due to the number of emails it sends to the administrators for system administration. >How-To-Repeat: No real 100% sure way. Just let the server run and send tons of emails. The driver should stop at some point. >Fix: Restart the driver : "ifconfig rl0 down; ifconfig rl0 up" >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
