I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2. I attempted to add some swap space a few minutes ago, by creating a 64MB empty file and 'vnconfig-ing' it as a swap device. Shortly after I did this, my system started thrashing wildly, and my syslog is filled with messages like the following: Aug 28 23:41:41 mercury /kernel: swap_pager_finish: I/O error, clean of page 67a000 failed Aug 28 23:41:42 mercury /kernel: swap_pager: I/O error - async pageout failed; blkno 408, size 8192, error 0 What do these errors mean? What could be causing these I/O errors? Thanks, -Chris
