Here is output 'top' after 1 day. This could easily cause a panic/reboot once swap has run-out and may also be related to the ahc reboot problem, and kernel panic reboots I have been experiencing. I am starting to see a common thread....... I use the 'ahc' controller. This can easily be reproduced..... Daniel do you use the 'ahc' controller? Can others that use the 'ahc' controller also check 'top' last pid: 47457; load averages: 0.15, 0.06, 0.01 up 1+00:50:22 10:19:24 55 processes: 1 running, 54 sleeping CPU states: 1.2% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 0.4% interrupt, 98.1% idle Mem: 12M Active, 72M Inact, 30M Wired, 6432K Cache, 8007K Buf, 2536K Free Swap: 128M Total, 1024K Used, 127M Free, 1% Inuse PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 585 root 2 0 1608K 1156K select 8:28 0.00% 0.00% natd 406 root 2 0 2344K 2008K select 0:25 0.00% 0.00% named 602 root 2 0 1448K 916K select 0:19 0.00% 0.00% nmbd 507 root 2 0 1488K 900K select 0:04 0.00% 0.00% httpd 509 root 2 0 1488K 880K select 0:04 0.00% 0.00% httpd 583 root 2 0 896K 528K select 0:03 0.00% 0.00% natd 453 root 2 0 1256K 744K select 0:02 0.00% 0.00% sendmail -----Original Message----- From: Daniel C.
