Maybe some noticed similiar behaviour ... We're running FBSD 3.0-RELEASE at our free server (over 80 thousands of ppl from Poland has e-mail and www pages on it). Few days ago we started to notice some strange behaviour - system was saing: Date, timestamp www /kernel: swap_pager: suggest more swap space: 254 MB But swap space is about 750 of MB! What is more interesting, that all this actions are being made at night! (3 a.m local time). What's more interesting that swap is on new SCSI drive - when badsectors should not exist, and even if they would be there they should be skipped by SCSI hardware. So, has anyone spotted sth similliar ? Or can system do any maintain tasks at night which are not regarded in CronTab ?
