The "92%" above is the percent of buffers that have been allocated and are currently in-use. The system allocates more when the pool runs out. The % in use is essentially a useless number that shouldn't even be reported because it just causes confusion about what it means. -DG David Greenman Co-founder, The FreeBSD Project - http://www.freebsd.org President, TeraSolutions, Inc. - http://www.terasolutions.com Pave the road of life with opportunities.
