To: freebsd-questions@freefall.FreeBSD.org (freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com) Date: Fri, 29 Dec 95 10:18:44 EDT Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85] Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Ok, I just have a lock up of the system in X session after loading the swap space with as high as 96% and I think it's growing. In fact the whole system just hangs again. Note, this is also a follow-up with some paging errors which posted before and now I disabled the sd0s1b leaving only wd0s2b (which is smaller) to see if the previous paging errors will go away. Is this the expected behavior when the swap is (nearly) full and more pages then available needed to be paged out ? Sorry I asked since I can't see any log/trace/message, and this seems to happen overnight (while I was dreaming away ...). Looks like I just haven't had enough luck with running a stable 2.1R as my uptime now is about a week, either struck by this sudden lock-up/hang or when I also enable sd0s1b for more swap, I run into frequent paging errors and chances are if one if the critical processes like init gets killed, the system will lock up/hang as well ... Any more suggestions ? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2i iQCVAwUBMOMlzEmThh0X7Um5AQF0OAP/SwMK1spoqNKKN935t3lwp8WszA3kxBXH Hg2H4mp9ho/eXkfRTuEvK8RuegwK5N/HkYwInaxXcrPjpIRvFxMwS1ZiS21LGcoL OZA+xtJtyiVt1eKol2oSg4jw+76a8TGGL2zcztK9B6R6hfNcbDrYifrL+sBLoqZ6 arXmEnc2rF8= =poFS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
