Date: Tue, 07 Jul 1998 09:56:24 +0200 From: Stefan Eggers Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! Is there still anybody left working on swapoff? The only reference I have in my mail archive is a mail from John mentioning this briefly ("when I get swapoff working"). Now that he left the project does anybody know what happened to this? It is really cruel to have to reboot a machine just because one uses a swap file on a non-root filesystem and can't get back to multi user from single user because the "mount -a" complains that the filesystem is busy. And besides this I think there's something missing with this asymmetry. Would just look more complete with it. :-) As I am at it: Any hints on good books, papers, whatever about paging and swapping internals in BSD - especially FreeBSD?
