I have a busy 4.1.1-RELEASE nfs server that stops responding at its ep
interface every hour or so. Pings to hosts on that network respond with
"sendto: no buffer space available". I've recompiled with MAXUSERS up at
128 and NMBCLUSTERS at 32768, both of which seem plenty high. The problem
goes away, to return an hour later, after a quick 'ifconfig ep0 down;
ifconfig ep0 up'.

Other people seem to have run into this problem as well, but
there is no sign of a fix in the archives anywhere.

Here's netstat -m when it's working:

194/320/131072 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
        179 mbufs allocated to data
        1 mbufs allocated to packet headers
        14 mbufs allocated to fragment reassembly queue headers
176/254/32768 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
588 Kbytes allocated to network (68% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines

and when it isn't:
172/320/131072 mbufs in use (current/peak/max):
        134 mbufs allocated to data
        38 mbufs allocated to packet headers
52/254/32768 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max)
588 Kbytes allocated to network (25% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines

Thanks for any help you an render,

Dan Debertin
