Thanks Bosko, I've changed my /boot/loader.conf to reflect the kern.vm.kmem.size option.
kern.vm.kmem.size="350000" As far as changing the nmbclusters, I'm not sure how many I use now. Do you know where I could get some values as what the total vs. how much is being used for the above values? I'll setup some graphs to monitor those values for me and get an idea of how much the system is using and when if I can. Also, I took a quick look at the developers handbook and couldn't find just yet what I needed to change to the kernel to provide a stack trace... do you know what options I should be adding to my kernel? Also, should I try not to use an SMP kernel and just run GENERIC to see if continues to have the problem? I can probably run on one CPU for a few days, especially over the weekend. Thanks, Stephane. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bosko Milekic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: mailing.freebsd.current Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 9:14 Subject: Re: FreeBSD 5.1-R kernel panic > > On Wed, Jul 23, 2003 at 09:08:18AM -0600, Stephane Raimbault wrote: > ... > > I was looking at uping the kern.vm.kmem.size as suggested to do as well, but > > I cannot find that value in sysctl -a, so I'm not sure where to set that > > specifically.
