OTOH one thing you probably do want here instead is swapon -a to make sure that any swapspace you have can be used. (I once forgot that on a memory-poor machine.

No. You can usually skip the 'reboot into single-user mode' part without any ill-effects but that is about it. -- Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
