Hello, Sent to misc about a week ago with no response, maybe this is the better place for such a query.
I'm trying to use a large table stored in a file with pf on -current but on system reboot pf chokes with Cannot Allocate Memory. However, once the system is running (and unfortunately for some reason I cannot ssh in when this happens so I have to be in front of it) I can load the table manually: "pfctl -t pspblock -T add -f /etc/pspblockfile", and it also works if I first do "pfctl -O -f /etc/pf.conf" followed by "pfctl -f /etc/conf". The table has roughly 220000 addresses and I've upped table-entries hard limit to 500000. Almost seems that pf is trying to load the table before changing the hard limit, but I have seen, on occasion "pfctl -f /etc/pf.conf" fail (cannot allocate memory) after it has already successfully executed. There is fail logged in pfrkentry: ================================================== pfrkentry 156 1099388 1 874541 17296 0 17296 17296 0 19231 8648 ================================================== System arch is i386 now with 384MB memory. Had 128MB when I posted previously on misc, adding more did not solve the problem. Thanks for any assistance. -- Chris
