I have an application (one which, if I finish it, will be given away to the net community at large) which to provide a huge performance increase over its former incarnations uses mmap heavily. It doesn't do any other I/O on the mmap'ed files, but it does do a lot of mmap. The INN lists indicate that FreeBSD and mmap don't get along, but since I've been switching the company over to FreeBSD systems (we'd started with NetBSD) I'd rather just use another one of those to develop and tune this on. Are these rumors true? Was there a fix? 2. I have a FreeBSD 2.1.0 system running Apache 1.0 (with local enhancements) The system runs out of mb_map every week or so, requiring a reboot. I've gotten it to last longer by cranking up the map size in the kernel, but it still dies eventually. Is there a leak somewhere? Please reply directly to me, as I get too much mail to be on any more mailing lists, so am not a member of this one :} Thanks, -matthew kaufman vp engineering, scruz-net inc. matthew@scruz.net
