I have 32 M RAM on the system & 64M swap space. Normally there is about 60 - 70% swap space in use, but everytime I run dump, swap space in use increases to 62M & never goes goes back down(until I reboot). The machine is acting as a pop server & running squid and dhcpd for windows workstations. It never runs out of swap space unless I run dump. Does anyone know why it might be doing this? -- Ian Moore Hamilton Secondary College Email imoore@hamcoll.schools.sa.edu.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
