I lost the distinction between gstat and vmstat. In the case at hand the possible swap devices are /dev/da0b (this is the one causing trouble) /dev/mmcsd0s3b /dev/mmcsd0s3d what would the correct <regexp> look like? Is there any indication why problems seen on the RPI3 do not seem apparent on an RPI2? A 2 GB USB flash swap partition seems to work successfully on the Pi2. Thanks very much! bob prohaska
