I have a machine that is rebooting with the following error: "All mbuf clusters exhausted, please see tuning(7)." Which through google and man tuning I was able to figure out that indeed, mbufs were exhausted. So I tried to set kern.ipc.nmbclusters=4096 (which should cover the load of the server), but found out after it is not a run-time tunable parameter. I searched google, and gathered that I should put this setting in /boot/loader.conf. This is contradictory of me usually putting kernel tweaks in /etc/sysctl.conf. >From your experience, where is the best place to load this variable from, why is it a better location, and what will happen if I don't load it from the proper place? Tks. Steve
