It has been many years since I used Linux, but one thing I recall is that there was a `swapoff` command in Linux to complement the `swapon` command. Are there any patches or plans to implement such a thing in FreeBSD? My familiarity with the "workings" of FreeBSD is still pretty minimal. Are there certain reasons that there currently is no way to stop paging to a device/file? -- Sean Kelly | PGP KeyID: 77042C7B smkelly@zombie.org | http://www.zombie.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
