Hi,
A proxy (squid) server running i368/4.6RELEASE with around 800 users, what
would be a reasonable value to increase kern.maxclusters too, to cure this :
r...@proxy-s ~> grep mcl /var/log/messages
Dec 10 10:13:43 proxy-s /bsd: WARNING: mclpools limit reached; increase
kern.maxclusters
Dec 10 11:06:07 proxy-s /bsd: WARNING: mclpools limit reached; increase
kern.maxclusters
Dec 15 13:41:48 proxy-s /bsd: WARNING: mclpools limit reached; increase
kern.maxclusters
r...@proxy-s ~> sysctl kern.maxclusters
kern.maxclusters=6144
r...@proxy-s ~> netstat -m

something like kern.maxclusters=10000 or ?
