Hi,

I read the entry in the FreeBSD FAQ about swap consumption (entry 6.1,
http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ75.html) and I have the impression that it
is wrong.

The kernel source seems to indicate that code pages of executables are
mmap'ed and then handled by the vnode pager (which would pagein free pages
from the file system via the vnode) and never given to the swap pager.

Am I right with this reading or did I miss something obvious?
