on my not so busy i386 4.0-current web server I get "uvm_mapent_alloc: out of static map entries" ~ once every two days. The archives bear a wide range of suggestions, from tweaking kernel feature xy to not touching anything, because that's stupid.
However, this message bothers me a bit and so I am seeking for advice how to track the problem down (if any). The machine runs apache with mod_gzip, openssl and php5 plus myqsql. I have set those up in a most default way, for mysql I've followed the guidelines on openbsdsupport.org. below you'll find output of vmstat -m, netstat -n and ps aux thanks, Stephan $ vmstat -m Memory
