>Description:
  I try to raise kern.mbuf.nmbclusters from 1024 to 2048 wich,
  according to the manpage, should be possible. It is not.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
  root@uberhost:~/home/karsten> sysctl kern.mbuf.nmbclusters
  kern.mbuf.nmbclusters = 1024
  root@uberhost:~/home/karsten> sysctl -w kern.mbuf.nmbclusters=2048
  sysctl: kern.mbuf.nmbclusters: sysctl() failed with Operation not permitted
	
>Fix:
  I have no fix.
