If the partition is a linux swap partition, it will reckognize this and mark the linux swap markup as "bad" to prevent destruction of the swap format info. To prevent this, clear the partition with zeros or give other options in servers.boot. The "free" equivalent is "vmstat", "vminfo" for processes. Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
