drive with /var/mail being 97-100% busy and iostat will always show hi
tps rates, but never anything above 8MB/s (4.10 gave me 30MB/s+).
If a lot of users are checking mail at once, the disk might be
busying seeking around the disk.
Kernel is generic with ipfirewall quota and smp (no ipfw rules yet).
I would change to pf instead of ipf as its better supported. Or just use ipfw.

Dell PowerEdge 1750 1U, 146Gig U320s. The Broadcoms seem to be a change
from the earlier 1550s with intel pro/100s (I prefer the intel's).
So this is not the same hardware as before that was running releng_4 ?
I was suspicious that maybe we needed more memory but swap has barely even
been touched (232k used...with 1400meg inactive).
Stiill, it might help by allowing more caching... Also I would still
increase dirhash as you are getting close to the limit. Also, if you
have a large master.passwd file (e.g. > 1000), try changing
nsswitch.conf as instructed in
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=75855
We had to do this on our pop server otherwise just doing an ls in
/var/mail would take several minutes.

No, the switch shows clear, they only show up as input errors on this box.
The box sitting under this one has an uptime of 621 days with 1 Oerr.
I seem to recall people having issues with the media selection using
bge based nics. e.g.
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=112570
I would try using autoneg instead. There are other options that might
not be getting set right (e.g. FC). autoneg might take care of it
for you, but as I said before there have been a number of bug fixes
to the driver since 6.2. Similarly, the ports you are using have
known security issues from 6.2 so you are better off to start from
6.3 and its port as you will have less patching to do.
