That's one reason why pagein rates are so much higher than pageout. That does not appear to be the case in 4.3. On several systems, a cat that will run for about 5 minutes never once shows any swapin counts. Given that my systems are servers for thousands of users, I would expect to see the swapins always large. I only see them on the least used server. Thats why it has 50 MB unused. It started swapping once when named crashed and things backed up for an hour or so. Since then the load has been quite low. But there are 40 - 80K swapped in every 2 seconds. -- -- Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
