I tried to kill the process but I didn't succeed. The final result was a system panic and a lot of error messages like this one: Feb 18 13:39:43 warpgondel2 kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(12): failed Feb 18 13:39:43 warpgondel2 kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(9): failed Feb 18 13:39:43 warpgondel2 kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(5): failed I use FreeBSD 5 now for more then 8 months. During this time I have seen five or more unkillable processes. Regards, Oliver Fischer
