swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj (...)
G'day all, Just wondering whether anyone knows any details regarding the "swap_pager warnings" bug noted on the 6.1-RELEASE Release Engineering "to do" page (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/todo.html). Specifically, a PR number would be excellent (I'm assuming one exists). I believe that this issue has been biting me for a while now (or at least it only began appearing after I enabled a swap file on a lowly machine which had to have bad RAM removed that I'm too cheap / poor to replace) and often results in machine lockups. I'd love to see it addressed (assuming that this is indeed what's biting me, which I'm fairly sure of*) before 6.2-RELEASE (probably a little unlikely, I guess) and would be happy to test patches / etc.. Thanks all! * I _could_ disable the swap file and leave the thing belting away for a while to see if the problem doesn't reoccur, but it'll mean a few processes getting killed here and there due to lack of available memory... -- Nick Withers email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.nickwithers.com Mobile: +61 414 397 446 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Your disk is taking an enormously long time to reply to swap I/O, which is what is eventually timing out with those errors. Check that it is not failing.

Hi, the SMART-status looks ok! SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED Maybe other applications causes high I/O load? Howto determine this? Other suggestions?

Re: 7.0-R freezes with: swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj
I've been getting this in the logs recently on a 6.2 system. No stability issues, but it is concerning. swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 93, size: 4096 swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 183, size: 4096 The server has always been under heavy load, but the load isn't any higher lately. And I'm only using like 1324K of swap so it's not like I'm heavily swapping. It's running off an adaptec based raid and arcconf says it's fine. Wojciech Puchar wrote: Hi, the SMART-status looks ok!
