Note also that (last I heard, anyway) this is often "worked around", or non-issued, by us allocating swap from the "bottom" of the partition up, and coredumps happening from the "top" down. So, if you've got 512 megs of swap, and 128 megs of ram, you'd need to use 384 megs of swap (+/- housekeeping) before you corrupted your core. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ "The only reason I'm burning my candle at both ends, is because I haven't figured out how to light the middle yet" _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
