Oct 2 05:23:58 serf /kernel: Out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers! Sep 13 05:10:32 serf /kernel.old.old: Out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers! Sep 4 04:07:50 serf /kernel: Out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers! Oct 9 05:29:09 serf /kernel: Out of mbuf clusters - increase maxusers! I have checked that nothing unusual begins anywhere near this time in cron (users or root), and yet it's nearly consistent. I have increased maxusers in the kernel to 128 without success. Could this be a runaway process which continuously spawns processes (sometime before the crash time), until it runs out of mbuf space? I can check for processes Thursday morning, hoping to find them before I crash. Lastly, I am witholding migration to 2.2.5 until I hear word that netatalk works again (since I rely on this heavily). Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Cheers, -matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Matthew M.
