Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Running a 3.4 server with 512MB Ram, no X windows, lots of swap. email, and bind are the main apps. Fast box, no cpu load. Under 2.2.8 almost never saw paging. vmstat 5 5 is part of the daily qc output. It always showed pi=po=0 After converting to 3.4 in February, just before 4.0 came out, noticed that pi and po were almost always 0. Now, pi ranges from 1-7 on each line of vmstat. Cannot see any effect of the paging. something to be concerned with? are some applications particularly suseptible to paging? how do I see which app is causing the paging? thanks jeff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
