From: Remko Lodder To: Alekseev Sergey Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: kern/140461: Fail to read from swap. The swap_pager.c contains incomplete routine as stated in its comments Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:55:39 +0100 > > The programmer marked an unfinished piece of code with "/*XXX*/" and > commented that "The code to page the whole block in doesn't work, so > we revert to the one-by-one behavior for now. Sigh." > > I think it has to be finished/updated. Thank you for your efforts. It states that the code is unable to page whole blocks, but that it is able to process one by one items. This tells us that it works, just not for 'larger' items in a row. You mention that you received a coredump, can you process that with 'textdump' so that we can see what happened here? It could be some other thing that resulted in an error. Recently I added a second swap partition to my setup, which didn't lead to any problems you describe. Could be a local issue or just a glitch in the matrix ofcourse. > -- /"\ Best regards, | remko@FreeBSD.org \ / Remko Lodder | remko@EFnet X http://www.evilcoder.org/ | / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
