see the red, it's not affected..
why this happen & how to fix it ?

thanks in advance

note : i have try to include this on /etc/sysctl.conf (same problems)
 
Could you try putting the values in double quotes in loader.conf?

loader.conf(5)

Code: 
     All settings have the following format:

           variable="value"

Worth a shot.
 
done! try to give all the values in double quote

Code: 
cat /boot/loader.conf
kern.maxfiles="32768"
kern.maxfilesperproc="16384"
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="32768"
kern.ipc.maxsockets="32768"
kern.ipc.somaxconn="1024"
kern.maxdsiz="1073741824"
kern.dfldsiz="268435456"
kern.maxssiz="134217728"

Code: 
sysctl -a | egrep 'maxfiles|maxfilesperproc|nmbclusters|maxsockets|somaxconn'
kern.maxfiles: 32768
kern.maxfilesperproc: 29491
kern.ipc.somaxconn: 128
kern.ipc.nmbclusters: 32768
kern.ipc.maxsockets: 32768

but still not affected..
 
  • shouldn't these be in /etc/sysctl.conf?
  • Without slogging through the sources (something which I read poorly, if at all) might perhaps kern.maxfiles override kern.maxfilesperproc?
  • I'm not finding anything right quickly, but can some of these be tuned in your kernel conf?

You might try asking on freebsd-hackers@, I mean, I do know that some of the devs read the forums, but I'd think that the odds would be better with the mailing lists.
 
Kernel tunables have to be set via /boot/loader.conf, as these can only be set before the kernel loads.

However, kernel tunables are listed as part of the sysctl tree. If you try to set these via /etc/sysctl.conf, you will get "read-only" errors.
