I'm having a problem with my FreeBSD-based news server which I'm hoping you'll be able to help me with. Whenever the mbuf usage count reaches '137' (as acquired from netstat -m), the system gets a 'no buffer space available' message, effectively rendering it useless until reboot. In looking at config.c, I found the build option for "Mbuf clusters", which I've adjusted. Problem is, this doesn't seem to do much ; when the "crash" occurs, the number of mbuf clusters is not a high number (on some occasions it's zero). I can't find anywhere else in the kernel source tree which might specify the number of mbuf's allocated to the system. Thanks. Sean T.
