I'm running the postmark test on my 3.x and 4.x test boxes now using a large softupdates partition (33G on each) and large memory (512M and 1G) configuration. The 4.x box seems to have stabilized at around 14MB of KVM, the 3.x box seems to have stabilized at around 9MB of KVM. I'll leave it running for a while to see if there are any memory leaks and then try reducing debug.max_softdeps to see what happens. We are still looking for panic messages. -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
