You should make sure you aren't experiencing network latency or degredation.... slow network causes data to bottle up in the kernel and will run you out. Are your users local or on modems? Otherwise, keep jacking up NMBCLUSTERS until it quiets or you get to 80,000 or so ... after that you might consider a new machine to split the load. > > > > >20462/20480/20480 mbuf clusters in use Note you're running out of _clusters_. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
