Does the 3825328 seem ever so slightly whacked? This has been a curiosity for quite some time, in fact I think it might even pre-date my upgrade from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6. Oddly enough, top(1) reports a reasonable figure for the same parameter. The output of vmstat(8) is whacked in the same way as systat(1) though. dmesg says: real memory = 67108864 (65536K bytes) avail memory = 63660032 (62168K bytes) Clues? Where should I start looking? -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
