You may wish to try adding (or changing) these to /etc/sysctl.conf and
reboot:
kern.ipc.nmbclusters=32768
kern.ipc.somaxconn=4096
kern.ipc.shmmax=67108864
kern.ipc.shmall=32768
kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=4194304
I see your nmbclusters is already larger than mine. I don't remember the
exact relationship right off the top of my head (it's in the docs), but
there is a ratio releationship between nmbclusters and some of the other
parameters. IIRC increasing nmbclusters means increasing these others in
proportion as well.
And possibly consider these maybe too:
net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max=16777216
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=131072
net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=16777216
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072
If these kinds of changes only make it so the problem continues to surface,
but at a different time interval, you might want to search the lists (-
stable and -current, as well as bug tracker) for similar troubles
experienced by others. I believe I have seen a couple of reports which sound
similar to what you're describing.
If you locate such, pay particular attention to the specific hardware NIC
and driver combination. If it is exactly the same as yours and a patch has
been created which resolves the problem check and see if it has been MFC'd
to -stable. In such a case (where you have _exactly_ the same problem) a
possible solution is to then upgrade your box to -stable. I don't
necessarily recommend blindly 'trying' -stable just to see what happens on a
production box - it is possible to create new problems as a result. But if
there exists a fix for exactly the problem that's where you'll likely find
it.
