Now that's different from the previous poster. The problem in this case is that some of the system constants are sized based on the amount of RAM and appearantly we do this wrong for large RAM configurations. I only have 2G ram and that's what I have tested (extensively). If we're still broken for >2G ram, somebody needs to revist this. One thing you can try is reduce the value of the sysctl kern.maxvnodes If you set it to the same value as used for 2G (appros 130000), I think your machine should survive with 3G RAM. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
