I did set it to twice the default, and now it works and netstat -m shows: 8192/391/8583/12800 9k jumbo clusters in use (current/cache/total/max) Whats a reasonable amount to set kern.ipc.nmbjumbo9 to and is there any form of auto-tuning (i have absolutely no load on this machine and mbufs are higher than default pool size).
