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 ?
