Hello list, sorry about all my questions. I'm learning, honest. OK I found that having a swapfile after the fact, makes it not appear in top. It seemed that some of the system saw the swap at /usr/swap0 but other parts didn't use it. So in an effort to get around this, I got another spare usb stick and put swap on it. The stick is 16GB. I now get the folllowing in messages: Sep 8 15:26:34 potato kernel: warning: total configured swap (3906304 pages) exceeds maximum recommended amount (223328 pages). Sep 8 15:26:34 potato kernel: warning: increase kern.maxswzone or reduce amount of swap. Thing is, I'd quite like a huge amount of swap given the following: 1. not too concerned about speed here, as long as it's stable 2. things like svnlite choke on many writes There's not much documentation about kern.maxswzone. I put the following in /boot/loader.conf : kern.maxswzone=3906304 it still complains. Please can anyone give pointers how to fix this? thanks, -- John
