I already have MAXUSERS set to 512. You have an mbuf leak somewhere, where mbufs are being allocated to contain data but never being freed. I'm not aware of any known mbuf leaks in 2.2.7, however you might consider installing the 3.0 release and evaluating it under the same test load. This is something that will typically require a kernel developer to help you with. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
