I have been runing some tests in a controlled environment. server and client are both 64bit Xeon/X5550 =40 2.67GHz with 16Gb of mem= ory FreeBSD/SMP: 2 package(s) x 4 core(s) x 2 SMT threads the client is runing latest 8.0 stable the load is created by runing 'make -j32 buildworld' and sleeping 150 sec= . in between runs, this is the straight line you will see in the graphs. Both the src and obj directories are NFS mounted from the server, regular= UFS. when server is running 7.2-stable no leakage is seen. see ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/users/danny/freebsd/mbufs/=7Btcp,udp=7D-7.2.= ps when server is runing 8.0-stable see ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/users/danny/freebsd/mbufs/=7Btcp,udp=7D-8.0.= ps you can see that udp is leaking=21 cheers, danny ps: I think the subject should be changed again, removing zfs ...
