MBuf clusters - what uses them?
I still have occassional lock-ups on my system which appear to be a
result of MBuf Cluster exhaustion. Just looking at netstat output, it
shows that network is using about 554. Yet vmstat -m shows more than
1000 in use.
# netstat -m
553 mbufs in use:
541 mbufs allocated to data
11 mbufs allocated to packet headers
1 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses
98 calls to protocol drain routines
# vmstat -mW | grep '^[MNm]'

So, what is using the additional ~450 MBuf Clusters?
