Do you have nfsd running and serving clients? If so, we should maybe
change the topic to something like "possible nfs mbuf leakage"...
it's only purpose in life is a nfs server.
but I wouldn't exclude zfs from the equation yet.
I have othere nfs servers, not doing zfs and I don't see this.
DB> 23066/6634/29700 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)
My server is at 22k now, and the buffer number is still increasing every
few seconds...
Can you monitor your mbuf usage and report if it grows?
I am, and in the last 2hs. it grew by about 300, it does oscilate, i.e. it
grows some, then
it goes down, but it seems that the low always increases.
when I have enough data i'll plot it.
Same here, from the odd samples I make.
If I don't run my compiles, but just let the server sit.
It just oscilates +- 500 mbufs.
Once I start compiling, mbufs starts growing. I'm now at 22K
Main network (NFS) traffic is than
postfix writing Maildir
dovecot - Maildir work
Next to that it is also Samba server, but that doesn't seem to matter that
much.....
