Thanks for all your immediate reply. Sure I have raised NMBCLUSTERS (in my netstat shows to 20480). What is the explanation for my previous post about max mbufs has not reached, but it already shows about mbuf allocation failed ? What if I increase nmbclusters but this problems still occurs ? FYI: I am running 4.2-R, fxp ethernet device with link0 enabled. regards -why- --- Ulf Zimmermann <ulf@Alameda.net> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 05, 2002 at 06:42:56PM -0700, Ulf > Zimmermann wrote: > > On Fri, Sep 06, 2002 at 11:41:17AM +1000, Richard > Chew wrote: > > > Hi > > > > > > From your message below, you seem to be running > out of mbuf clusters. > > > > > > You need to modify NBMCLUSTERS in your kernel > config file in > > > /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/ and set > > > > > > options NBMCLUSTERS=dd > > > > > > where dd is a number greater than the current > max.
