The following reply was made to PR bin/46633; it has been noted by GNATS. From: David Schultz <dschultz@uclink.Berkeley.EDU> To: Willem Jan Withagen <wjw@files.digiware.nl> Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: bin/46633: Flase error report in swapon when adding too many disks Date: Mon, 30 Dec 2002 16:33:10 -0800 Thus spake Willem Jan Withagen <wjw@files.digiware.nl>: > When adding too many disk for swapping the error reported is a 'strange one' > Nicer would be to respond something like: > All swapdisk slots are occupied. If swapon(2) returned EBUSY in this case, you'd get the message 'Device busy' without having to make a special case out of it.
