Howdy! I have diskless frontends and would rather kill processes than swap over NFS. I am running 4.3-SECURITY, and about every 2-3 days the machine hangs, vmstat shows page scans (sr) going through the roof secounds before it becomes unusable. I understand from reading the freebsd-stable archive (circa May 2001) that there is a bug in the vm around killproc, which causes kernel lockups before processes are killed. Has this been fixed yet in stable, or is there a patch/fix or other work around other than adding more RAM? For you additional info I have 256M RAM and NO_SWAPPING defined in the kernel. Your shared experience/knowledge is much appreciated. Please Cc me personally with any responses. thanx - steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
