Hi everyone, I still haven't upgraded to 4.7 yet (I will do soon), so I'm still on 4.6. On my home server, I run symon and syweb to monitor several stats about my machine. I noticed that since about 3-4 months ago, the mbuf usage started to to increase and never decrease. The mbuf type responsible for this is mt_soname. The other thing is that this machine just sometimes reboots, out of nowhere. This may or not be connected to the mbufs.
This sudden increase in mt_soname mbuf coincides with my replacing an external ADSL modem with an internal one (a Traverse PCI card, appearing as an RTL8139C+ to the system). The type of DSL connection changed as well, I now use dhclient to get an IP address. Can I investigate where these mbufs are used? As I said, I'll upgrade to 4.7 soon, so I primarily see this as a learning opportunity for me. Thanks, 176 mbufs in use: 130 mbufs allocated to data 4 mbufs allocated to packet headers 42 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses 129/196/6144 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) 764 Kbytes allocated to network (39% in use) 0 requests for memory denied 0 requests for memory delayed 0 calls to protocol drain routines OpenBSD 4.6-stable (GENERIC.MP) #1: Mon Apr 5 13:05:43 CEST 2010 r...@calvin.stupendous.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP real mem = 2145910784 (2046MB) avail mem = 2071273472 (1975MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: SMBIOS rev. 2.5 @ 0xf06c0 (56 entries) bios0: vendor American Megatrends Inc. version "0403" date 09/02/2008 bios0: ASUSTeK Computer INC.
