as far as i know, FreeBSD calculate this in regard of the amount of Memory in your system if you has nothing other configured...one of my boxes has 1G RAM and no settings other than default, the value of nmbclusters is 60000, par example for monitoring this value you can use the command netstat -m and see what's going on this shows you also the configured values from kernel (you must not use sysctl). greetings michael -- = = = m i c h a e l - s c h u h . n e t = = = Projektmanagement - IT-Consulting - Professional Services IT Michael Schuh Postfach 10 21 52 66021 Saarbrücken phone: 0681/8319664 mobil: 0175/5616453 @: m i c h a e l . s c h u h @ g m a i l . c o m = = = Ust-ID: DE251072318 = = = --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
