I am really confused by a message that I am getting. swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: 196609, blkno: 856, size: 20480 ^^^^^^ Marked is what has me confused. From what I understand about 'dev' I expect a /dev/???. This appears to be block number, but I want to be sure. Would it be 'bn' in my swap slice? Is it a different way that swap indexes pages? >From --> /usr/src/sys/vm/swap_pager.c while ((bp->b_flags & B_DONE) == 0) { if (tsleep(bp, PVM, "swread", hz*20)) { printf("swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: %d, blkno: %d, size: %d\n", bp->b_dev, bp->b_blkno, bp->b_bcount); } } Thanks for any help info you can offer. -- =| Regards, =| FreeBSD ==> http://www.FreeBSD.org =| Kevin G.
