Hi, A local semi-diskless 2.2 system panics a lot because it has a very small swap size (48M RAM, 64M swap, and netscape 4 running ! :^) ). It has a dos partition, and I'm now trying to use the windows 95 swap file as a secondary swap (vnconfig, etc). But the DOS partition is too slow, and this makes the whole system a lot slower. I'd like to make the swap system sequential, instead of interleaved, and use the DOS swap ONLY when the other one is full. I've searched the swapinfo and kernel sources, and found the SW_SEQUENTIAL bit of the swdevt.sw_flags. But I could not see its usage anywhere else. Is it supported in FreeBSD 2.2-stable ?
