Greetings, 2 friends of mine and I run some pretty high-volume web sites. We're running 2 servers, similar hardware (one is a PII 333, one is 400; the 333 has a built-in Adaptec 7895 SCSI controller, the other has a 2940UW; both machines have 3Com Fast Etherlink XL's (3C905)), running FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE. It seems that every 5-7 days, we have to reboot both servers, because they start getting "No buffer space available" error messages all over the place. It happens with the ftpd, telnet, ssh, and even named. I'm starting to wonder if perhaps the code for the 3C905 card isn't that great, or if maybe the cards themselves just don't work under high traffic loads? These two machines definitely put out a lot of traffic (over 1.5 Mbit/sec at almost all times). Thanks in advance for any suggestions. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://www.dreamhaven.net/~data * ICQ: 32620929 * * "Insanity takes its toll.
