In article <657.891465523.kithrup.freebsd.current@critter.freebsd.dk> you write: >The problem is, the kernel cannot account for the twohundred som Mbyte >of swap space it claims is in use. Even if I kill all processes the >number doesn't decrease significantly :-( There is something wrong with -stable. I reported this to John about a month ago, maybe two (I forget exactly). I noticed it when I upgraded from 32MBytes to 96MBytes of RAM; my swap usage, instead of going down, went drastically up. I am pretty sure it is related to MFS in my case; I was unable to see an MFS process in PHK's ps listing. Right now, I am at: Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/sd0s1b 131072 4448 126560 3% Interleaved /dev/sd1s1b 131072 4408 126600 3% Interleaved Total 262016 8856 253160 3% I'm sorry, but with 96MBytes of RAM, there is no reason for my system to swap, given what it does. And that amount will slowly grow; when I rebooted for the OS upgrade on Saturday, it was at 39MBytes or so (MFS is 32MBytes on my system). However: when I shut down to single user mode, it dropped down to about 100Kbytes in use. So, I think there's a leak, but I'm not sure *where* it is. Or perhaps it's just bad swap usage by the kernel. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
