Output of netstat -m shows lower value with higher kern.maxclusters

2017-04-12 Thread Marc Peters
Hi, after i updated from 6.0 to 6.1, i saw that kern.maxclusters was raised and removed our local change to kern.maxclusters. Although the value is now way higher, the output shows a lower number than before: before the upgrade: ~ # sysctl kern.maxclusters kern.maxclusters=24578 ~ # netstat -m

Running out of clusters (due to too low kern.maxclusters) destinies you to reboot or should it self-heal? What parameters should guide one's setting of kern.maxclusters?

Dear list, Karlis and I experienced the hangup problem and discussed it last month on the bugs ML ( all the thread at http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-bugsm=137321082217664w=2 ). Claudio had the kindness to point out that having no available clusters (i.e. a kern.maxclusters setting set too low
