The meaning of this messages is reasonably clean and I have seen it before (although not since upgrading to 3.0 and meeting the dying daemons bug), but I have on occasion seen: smap_pager: suggest more swap space: 125 MB I assume it is a warning that I'm about to run out, but what does the 125MB mean? I have 128MB of swap. If it means that 125MB is used, it would be much less cryptic to qualify it along the lines of "only 3MB free" or "125MB out of 128MB used" or "98% used" or "2% free". To be consistent with "out of swap space", maybe it should say "almost out of swap space". So, what is the correct interpretation of this message, and the 125MB in particular? -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
