The following reply was made to PR kern/17868; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Joe Greco <jgreco@ns.sol.net> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org, simon@lok.net Cc: Subject: Re: kern/17868: no more buffers / can't allocate llinfo when running gated Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 07:45:38 -0500 (CDT) GateD has nothing to do with this, fyi. The kernel has a limit on the amount of kernel VM that can be allocated to tables such as these. You may do a "vmstat -m" to see. Look at: Memory statistics by type Type Kern Type InUse MemUse HighUse Limit Requests Limit Limit Size(s) routetbl161703 22113K 22127K 40960K 240489 0 0 16,32,64,128,256 Memory Totals: In Use Free Requests 23618K 23K 255740 You will probably find your "Limit" field to be 20K. It's not real obvious, but this limit is derived from hald of VM_KMEM_SIZE. I compiled a kernel with options "VM_KMEM_SIZE=83886080" and fixed it. Alternatively, one could specify this in boot/loader.rc, as I think someone stuck in a way to alter it in that manner. > (75K routes nowadays) # netstat -rn|wc 78347 471979 5489863 Some internal routes probably present, but > 75K routes. > Run gated. Wait 20 minutes. What speed connection do you have, anyways? I wait maybe 20 seconds. :-) > I looked on newsgroups, and there were some other people reporting > this problem, but no solutions. If this fixes the issue for you, please take the time to help them as I've taken the time to help you. Much appreciated. -- ...
