swap space problems

Occasionaly my system hangs for a few seconds while loading a process from swap that has been idle for some time. It could be that I'm actualy out of swap space in these conditions, because I see this frequently in dmesg output: swap_pager_getswapspace(8): failed. But I also see other failur

Using cvsup + make world, and keeping custom patches

I recently had a need to patch the FreeBSD's jail utility to support multiple IP addresses. On a recent "make update" using cvsup, my patched versions of the jail files were blown away, and now I'll need to reapply the patches. Does anyone have a good strategy for including some custom patches whe

Hi ! I have a pdf (a patent) which is protected against printing. I can read it with acrobat reader on windows at school, but I can't read it neither with xpdf nor gpdf, because both are asking me passwords. And ghostscript, which seemed to work under windows, does not work on my computer with

Hi, guys ! I have a small network at home and I noticed something curious... When I try to copy from one computer to another (the transfer is made through the server - without a switch), the bandwidth is very low, about 2Mb/s. Does anyone know why ? Another thing is that the bandwidth from the

When a cron job generates output, the delivery of that message to external address is delayed by one day. Nothing obvious is in the maillog. The system can resolve hostnames and MX records.

Process tracking

Right, when i run top I see perl grazing 50% of my CPU. How do I find out what process actually launched that. Linux has a nifty utility called htop, but that is not in the FreeBSD ports. I have looked at porting it, but it seems that htop talks straight to the kernel Any ideas? TIA -John
