thank you for the hint. I tried those values which seem to affect the traffic class i'm talking about. So what I actually changed is listed below: sysctl kern.ipc.somaxconn=512 sysctl net.inet.tcp.sendspace=65536 sysctl kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=1048576 sysctl kern.ipc.nmbclusters=32768 sysctl kern.maxvnodes=200000 sysctl net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max=16777216 sysctl net.local.stream.recvspace=65536 Interesting enough I really was able to start the mentioned rtorrent instance without crashing the machine. but unfortunately the crash just was delayed so that the machine rebooted after ~3hours. However these values seemed to affect the stability and are somehow related with the problem. For now i'm just upgrading to 8.0-RELEASE and will see how things change.. regards - michael _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
