I imagine the implementation of this would be complicated, as it is in Linux. You'd have to prevent further allocations on the swap device, then figure out where to evict the pages already allocated on the device. You also have to be able to back out if you run out of space to put things in the process. Maybe someone who is familiar with the race conditions involved will implement it some day, but swapoff would only occasionally be useful... at least until everyone is using hot-swappable swap. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
