What happens if the kernel is the next entity to > allocate memory? Well swap is on a encrypted geli parition. It does not really recall the exact message but googling suggested a bad hard disk. But the disks (gmirror pair) are fine. The machine question was a 6.3-box. I made the mistake to from boot from a 7.0 livedisk that updated my gmirror labels I were forced to upgrade to 7.0. If there is currently no ways to see which processes allocates how much swap space are there any pointers where to look to implement such a feature? Arne
