Hi,
(This query brought to you courtesy of tech reviews on my new freeBSD
book.)
On my -current box, vmstat(8) says:
procs Information about the numbers of processes in various states.
r in run queue
b blocked for resources (i/o, paging, etc.)
w runnable or short sleeper (< 20 secs) but swapped
I've had a couple people report to me that they have w entries even
when only a few kilobytes are swapped out.
Is the man page wrong? Or should I tell them to report that output as
a bug?
Thanks,
==ml
