In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've also noticed that I get messages like these during the startup of windows under VMware (possibly a property of the wiring behavior previously described): Feb 2 10:58:21 curry /boot/kernel/kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: ad0s1b, blkno: 288, size: 4096 Feb 2 10:58:22 curry /boot/kernel/kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: ad0s1b, blkno: 376, size: 4096 Feb 2 10:58:22 curry /boot/kernel/kernel: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: ad0s1b, blkno: 1536, size: 16384 Normally I'd think this was an impending IDE drive failure, only a number of others have reported seeing this behavior under -CURRENT also. Don't know if it's a product of VMWare, the VM system, or the ATA driver...
