Apologies,  we spoke of gstat earlier. 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!
