Hi, I have a firewall that is starting to get a little overworked. I currently have this line in my kernel config:
options NMBCLUSTERS=4096 and I am starting to hit that limit: 276/4096/4096 mbuf clusters in use (current/peak/max) So, the obvious response is to increase that NMBCLUSTERS value. ----- However, in all the examples and discussion I have seen, I have never seen anyone discuss raising it above 4096. I have no indication that raising it to ... say ... 8192 would be dangerous/risky, but I think I should ask just to make sure. The system is a P3-600 with 256 megs physical ram, and 128 megs swap. This system has no other duties than firewalling. System is running 4.4-RELEASE. SO: 1. any comments on raising NMBCLUSTERS to 8192 ? any other values that need to be tuned to support that ? 2. what is the max I could safely raise NMBCLUSTERS to ? thanks!
