I look after 2 FreeBSD machines. The SCSI-based machine (vallona) gets the
"signal 11" error when the swap utilisation goes above 75%. The second
machine which has a single IDE disk never has the problem.
I have included the dmesg output for each and yes the problem has been going
on for many months.
Hope the additional info helps track it down.
Regards,
Lee
