Do note that there is 87 MB free and 1 MB that some time in the past got swapped out. Whatever was swapped out never comes back to say regardless of the available free space. One of my systems started swapping for a short time about 6 months ago. I show constant swapin of that process all the time through today even though there is over 50 MB of free space. It would appear that some tuning of the swapin algorithm would be helpful. -- -- Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
