Hi, currently I see these use counts on NetBSD current (amd64):
190698 active vnodes *** MOUNT ffs /dev/sd0a on / (log,local,root file system) ADDR TYP VFLAG USE HOLD TAG NPAGE FILEID IFLAG RDEV|SZ ffff957a316fd4c0 dir RM -2147483630 1 1 0 2 - 512 ffff957a319c2040 reg TEM -2147483644 1 1 9 3168615 - 34272 ffff957a319c24c0 reg TEM -2147483594 1 1 22 3260431 Aa 87256 ffff957a319c2dc0 reg EM -2147483555 1 1 28 3414496 - 124704 ffff957a317a0280 reg EM -2147483603 1 1 8 3414032 - 30528 ffff957a317a0700 reg EM -2147483547 1 1 512 3414031 Aa 2271864 ffff957a317a0dc0 reg TEM -2147483644 1 1 48 2566155 A 218528 ffff957a31bb6280 reg EM -2147483643 1 1 44 3414043 A 214848 .... All use counts are like that and on reaching a low memory situation the pagedaemon starts spinning and can't free anything. This might be the cause of some other reports of pagedaemon spinning. I'll try to take a look if time allows. Lars -- You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass. --- Bruce Lee
