Hi,
I'm running a shaper system on a FreeBSD box. It is pushing sustained 8
Mbps. In the messages log I'm getting lots of
Dec 11 21:03:54 ritalin /kernel: All mbuf clusters exhausted, please see
tuning(7).
When I run netstat -m however I get
$ netstat -m
1766/5904/80000 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
1766 mbufs allocated to data
1765/5900/20000 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
13276 Kbytes allocated to network (22% of mb_map in use)
30 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines
Why is it saying its run out of mbuf clusters when it peaked at 5900?
The machine is running FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE. The reason for this is that
it is a shaper appliance, and it was shipped to us with 4.9 on it.
Does anyone have any ideas
