Hi Jim,
tnx for your feedback. tried out: - systemtunables via webgui - Set the *Tunable* field to *kern.ipc.nmbclusters* - Set the *Value* field to 1000000 or the desired number. - reboot ->> alll works well - reboot / added 2 nics (sum 8) *- same problems* as well as additionally generating file: 240870 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 86B Nov 5 21:29 loader.conf 240869 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 31B Nov 5 21:18 loader.conf.local kern.ipc.nmbclusters="1000000" - reboot - all fine with 6 nics - reboot and adding 2 NICs = 8 in sum *again in both cases same behaviour that machine is not working well :-(* remark: as written v2.3.4 works well WITHOUT tuned anything so seems to have an dependency with freebsd 11.1 kernel ?
