Hi,

9k jumbos is ubiquitous now. I believe we use 9k jumbos for last four years or more. You've got unworkable system after upgrade from 8.1 to 8.2 and documentation doesn't help here. It isn't a good way is made driver (or system) which doesn't work with jumbo by default.

My point is if you're using machine with 8 CPUs than maxusers/clusters/9k mbufs should have been increased by system, because on this machine minimum 2Gb memory is available.

Our validation group has a default postinstall process, every installed system gets those changes, and these mbuf pool sizes are in that set of changes. While I'm not opposed to system default settings changing its usually necessary to have local sys changes anyway, after all you don't get 9K jumbos
without manually specifying them as well :)

Regards,

Jack

    Hi,

    New igb driver (and I think em too) is required too much 9k mbufs
    when it's been configured with mtu = 9000. On machine with 8 CPUs,
    driver is required 8192 9k mbufs, but by default there is only
    6400 and network won't start. In previous versions for big mtu it
    was used 4k mbufs, by default there is 12800 and all worked fine.

    Maybe it's time to think about increasing default
    kern.maxusers/kern.ipc.nmbclusters? or use mp_ncpus for
    calculation these values? or just increase amount of
    mbuf_cluster/mbuf_jumbo_page/mbuf_jumbo_9k from that driver...

    I just want igb to work out-of-the-box.
