Hi Josh,

thank you very much for the information, so m_expand from bsd/kern/uipc_mbuf.c is always used to allocate mbufs.

If I remember correctly, mbufs themselves are stored in clusters. A cluster can be used as a cluster on it's own or it can be used to store mbufs. An mbuf is a fraction of a cluster. If the system runs out of mbufs, it may convert a cluster in to something like 8 mbufs.
