Gee, I think you're swap is a bit small. I've got 256MB and roughly a gig fo swap. Then again, I used to have a penchant for running memory hungry things like recompiling common LISP, so I set it to 4x almost out of habit. After all, disk is cheap. > What is the best way to setup MFS to utilize that swap space? > > Right now I have this... > > mfs:33 507759 1 467138 0% /tmp > > Though it looks like the MFS partition size isn't truly 768MB. Exactly where is that? I use the following line in /etc/fstab to set up my mfs: /dev/da1s1b /tmp mfs rw,nosuid,-s=262144 0 0 BTW, you probably don't want to set up things so that /tmp can eat up all your swap. Running out of swap is bad thing. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
