FWiW - My nano (4 NICs, 1GB, Community), PuTTY says: kern.ipc.nmbufs: 131925 kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 20612
but nothing explicitly set on the tunables page, just whatever's built in. -----Original Message----- From: List [mailto:list-boun...@lists.pfsense.org] On Behalf Of Karl Fife Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2017 4:02 PM To: pfSense Support and Discussion Mailing List <list@lists.pfsense.org> Subject: Re: [pfSense] Intel Atom C2758 (Rangeley/Avoton) install/boot failure with pfSense 2.3.2 This is a good theory, because RRD data from 2.2.6 suggests that the difference in utilization between the versions is slight, and that we had 'barely' exhausted our system default allocation. Is there a difference between nano and full with respect to the installer explicitly setting tunables for kern.ipc.nmbclusters and kern.ipc.nmbuf? Vick Khera says he sees explicitly set tunables on his 2.3.2 system, yet my virgin installation of Nano pfSense 2.3.2 has no explicit declarations? Vick, is your Supermicro A1SRi-2758F running an installation that came from Netgate, or is it a community edition installation? If the latter, Full or Nano?
