MFS can exhaust your swap quickly, and if you scale these load numbers up by a factor of 10, I think you're going to touch swap. (Even here you're already down to 7M free mem.) I wouldn't be surprised if you're running out of swap. --ZwgA9U+XZDXt4+m+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE6t5/EaUz3f+Zf+XsRAlCNAJsGrpqo0bwQ4UWFZKzu+ZgCb6ROmQCbBFNw h1gZvaVRLZ4fhbGWbCZNJG4= =J9px -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZwgA9U+XZDXt4+m+-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
