Things are much worse if i run a couple of mirrors. swap get full quicker freebsd 2.2.7 16mb ram dx4 just loaded freebsd and am mirroring the ports dir from a local (same segment) mirror. the 40mb swap is at max - nothing else is running no x no sendmail just network any ideas ? (like more swap? ) what other info do u need to answer these questions ? tia rudi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
