Hiya, After a while of using 5.3RELEASE, i have noticed a small problem, my swap partition isnt getting used. Well its not a small problem considering that i have only 256mb ram on this machine. boredom# swapctl -l Device: 1024-blocks Used: /dev/ad0s1b 482112 56 this i suppose shows that some of it is used but the amount used never increases. I'm currently using 100% memory (installing openoffice from ports, finally). It is in /etc/fstab as: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0 I've tried using swapon -a to add it and it doesnt seem to have worked. Its also does not show in df -ha ,though i cant recall if it is supposed to be there. Though i dont think it has to be mounted? -- Theres no place like ::1 Thanks, SimonB
