Hi Frank,


Server :
PIII 450 with 512 Mbyte of RAM, 
3c905B NIC 
SCSI harddisk attached to a Adaptec 2940. 
The mainboard is Asus P-2BF.
The Nic isn't the problem, the problem also appears when i use the ZNYX 346 card (DEC chipset) .
OS : NetBSD-current

Clients :
PIII 450 with 512 Mbyte of RAM,
ZNYX ZX346 DEC 21140A Chip
SCSI harddisk attached to a Adaptec 2940. 
The mainboard is Asus P-2BF.
O.S : Redhat Linux 6.0 or NetBSD 1.3.2

The server and client are connected to a 100 Mbit Switch, when i place the server in a 10 Mbit segment of the network the problem also appears.

I tested from a Linux client and a NetBSD 1.3.2 client. Both giving the same results. The ab program (ApacheBench) is version 1.3, this version comes with the 1.3.6 apache distribution.
When i test from a sparc SS20 with a 10 mbit interface running NetBSD 1.4 it takes some more time (read more http requests) to get the server crashing. 
With the GENERIC kernel i did get the "WARNING: mclpool limit reached" message. After increasing the NMBCLUSTERS to 4096 in the kernel the message doesn't appear, but the server reboots as in the other cases

When i test from the localhost the server reboots also after some time, but only when the connection rate is high enough : 

# ulimit -n 255
# ./ab -n 10000 -c 240 http://127.0.0.1/  
 


The size of the file (index.html) requested is 419 bytes in all cases.


Regards,


Koos de Haan
