The term "page fault" just means it had to page out some memory to disk or get it back again. The virtual memory system pages so swap space. I don't know about the other messages though. I supposes they could also relate to running out of memory and swap space but really don't know. ////jerry > > -- > Roger > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
