Hardware: PC Dell
OS: FreeBSD 3.3 (november 1999)
Kernel: GENERIC
Yesterday, this very important host on my network failed with:
swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: device: 0x20401, blkno:XXX, size: 4096
(2 different values shown for XXX).
Using mail archives, I found this message can occur when there is
some hardware failure on the disk. But:
. no message appears in /var/log/all.log (*.* -> all.log)
. even if i try:
dd if=/dev/da0s1b of=/dev/null
^ swap partition
I also see that the file swap_pager.c was modified between FreeBSD 3.4
and FreeBSD 4.2.
So is my problem really hardware?
Or is there a software fix?
Thanks in advance.
