Hi all, after my post in June [1] I've removed the wireless card that seemed to be causing the memory problems and my system is more stable now. However, after about three weeks of uptime, memory starts running low again and the machine starts swapping constantly.
netstat -m gives me 33805 mbufs in use: 33790 mbufs allocated to data 3 mbufs allocated to packet headers 12 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 6/94/6144 mbuf 2048 byte clusters in use (current/peak/max) 0/8/6144 mbuf 4096 byte clusters in use (current/peak/max) 0/8/6144 mbuf 8192 byte clusters in use (current/peak/max) 0/8/6144 mbuf 9216 byte clusters in use (current/peak/max) 0/8/6144 mbuf 12288 byte clusters in use (current/peak/max) 0/8/6144 mbuf 16384 byte clusters in use (current/peak/max) 0/8/6144 mbuf 65536 byte clusters in use (current/peak/max) 156296 Kbytes allocated to network (99% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines 150 MB for network seems a bit much to me, especially since I can literally watch that number grow. The system has 3 wired ethernet interfaces (2 of them in use), pflog0 and enc0. No other interfaces. Traffic levels are very moderate -- max 1 GB per day. Any ideas what's going on and what I could do about this? Thanks, Lars [1] http://www.nabble.com/Memory-problems-on-4.5-td23901874.html
