I have FreeBSD running on a Pentium-120, 128Mb RAM, SMC NIC (de0), with over two hundred virtual domains. A while ago, we were having unusual network storms, and I did lots of experimentation with the virtual domain set up to see if it was related. In the end, I changed so many things (eliminating the specific "route add" commands, for example), that I'm not sure exactly what has cleared up the problem. But in any case, I saw at the time, and have continued to see, this message on "route -n monitor": RTM_LOSING: Kernel Suspects Partitioning: len 124, pid: 0, seq 0, errno 0, flags:<UP,GATEWAY,HOST,DONE> locks: inits: sockaddrs: <DST,GATEWAY> Followed by IP addresses of the remote and the local host. This seems to happen for *any* connection to the machines, so there are a lot of these messages. I looked through the source, a few books, and on the net, but I can't find the meaning of this. Does it represent a problem? It seems to. I think the thing that actually fixed the network hangs was increasing NMBCLUSTERS to 4096; there were occasional "mb_map full" messages before that. Please reply by e-mail, I'll summarize later. Thanks, Kevin Martin sigma@mcs.com
