Mathieu

Thank you for the response I wasn't sure if anyone would be up at this time
to help (2:30 am central time us where i am at).

I ended up trying these settings in the /boot/loader.conf.local

kern.ipc.nmbclusters="131072"
hw.igb.num_queues=4



I however am not sure if these settings are appropiate for my setup or not.

My box does currently have 4 igb nics (intel i354 x 4) and also currently
has 8 cores (c2756) .


Does this mean I should try hw.igb.num_queues=8 instead of
hw.igb.num_queues=4 ?


I am not familiar with these settings just trying to figure out what
settings I should apply for stability and out of the box performance.
