The bug in question is "new" (23rd february, most likely), and is not visible in -stable. It is a serious bug. Saying that his swap usage is 'too high' is not going to help us solve it; the system is supposed to be stable no matter what. We can't take 3.0 to be -STABLE until this bug and the clock bug is solved. Eivind. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
