Freebsd without swap
Hi there. Now I'm using FreeBSD 9 without swap, and without additional swap - related configurations. Ξ ~ → gpart show = 34 234441581 ada0 GPT (111G) 34128 1 freebsd-boot (64k) 162 234441453 2 freebsd-zfs (111G) Ξ ~ → pstat -T 3857/12328 files 0M/0M swap space And all work perfectly or that seems to me :). My working machine is ThinkPad T61 with 4G ram. I'm typically desktop user. And the question is: Does it correct to use freebsd like this? Or I need specific setup? Option NO_SWAPPING if I understand right not for this purpose. Sysctl vm.swap_enabled=0 seems to be useful. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

NO_SWAPPING builds-out code related to paging to swap along with the related sysctl options, and is probably what you are after. vm.swap_enabled enables actual swapping in addition to normal paging when short of memory, and isn't relevant if you have no swap space. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Freebsd without swap?
Hi, I lost a hard drive in one of my machines here. Fortunately, the only thing on it was /tmp and a random storage partition I used as a dropoff point for backups before they get ftp'd to another machine. And...my swap partition. So how dangerously am I living to run this machine without any swap until I get my hands on a replacement drive? Frankly, it doesn't eat into the swap much at all on regular basis. Thanks for the help. Drew ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've not tried it myself, but the question came-up before and no-one seemed to regard it as a problem, provided you don't actually need swap space. If you're concerned you can create a swap file with dd, and add swapfile=path-to-file in rc.conf ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
freebsd without swap (swap_pager_getswapspace: failed)
Hello, I am running a system from a cdrom. There is no swap space to be mounted unless I use a mfs system for swap. I am getting message about swap_pager_getswapspace: failed Is there any way I can shut these off without creating swap space? Oh and who would I talk to about changes in the rc.diskless2 script to allow a few more options. Thanks, Joe __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
