Try with 128. I switched to a 3.1-stable-990328 because of "Out of mbuf clusters - adjust NMBCLUSTERS or increase maxusers!" messages with 3.1-stable-990311 that seemed to freeze the workstation. The 3.1-stable-990311 kernel was already configured with maxusers==128. So I increased it to 512 in the 3.1-stable-990328 version (my bi Pentium II has 512 Mo ram). And instead of a stable kernel, I got something crashing every 5 minutes or less. I went back to maxusers==128 with 3.1-stable-990311 but given I got "Out of mbuf clusters - adjust NMBCLUSTERS or increase maxusers!" messages two or three times with that snapshot, I fear getting new ones... What's the rationale between RAM and maxusers and SMP (if concerned) ? Thierry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
