However, as far as I understand the net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack is not something you want to set at 0 normally. This is part of the TCP system of flow control. By not delaying ACKs high speed connections will not be fully utilized. However, like someone else already answered: it's kind of hard to say if this is a good idea for YOUR setup. Maybe Wouter can explain why he came with the tip about that one? Maybe there is a good reason to it. :) My machine also has trouble with sudden reboots. Much quicker than weeks though, I barely hold out for 5 days. So I'm reading up on this sort of cases now, hence my interest in this thread. So far I've looked at the maxfiles (increased it a little), and kern.maxvnodes (increased it to 100.000, my vfs.vnodes was at 91000 at the time). My trouble is kind of exactly the same as I read in the original messaage: the result is like someone pulls the plug and puts it back in. No logs, no dumps, no nothing. And completely normal operation right before the reboot. Pretty annoying. I've had it on 2 machines, different hardware so far. First I expected hardware, but now I moved everything to a freshly installed machine with hardware that I'm 100% sure of it's OK. So it must be something else then, right? :) /Robin
