G'day all, Just wondering whether anyone knows any details regarding the "swap_pager warnings" bug noted on the 6.1-RELEASE Release Engineering "to do" page (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/todo.html). Specifically, a PR number would be excellent (I'm assuming one exists). I believe that this issue has been biting me for a while now (or at least it only began appearing after I enabled a swap file on a lowly machine which had to have bad RAM removed that I'm too cheap / poor to replace) and often results in machine lockups. I'd love to see it addressed (assuming that this is indeed what's biting me, which I'm fairly sure of*) before 6.2-RELEASE (probably a little unlikely, I guess) and would be happy to test patches / etc.. Thanks all! * I _could_ disable the swap file and leave the thing belting away for a while to see if the problem doesn't reoccur, but it'll mean a few processes getting killed here and there due to lack of available memory... -- Nick Withers email: nick@nickwithers.com Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446
