Re: panic : swap_pager

Hi,


Cannot dump. No dump device defined.


At least I know what this means. If you don't define a dump device, the 
swapper can't dump the corrupted swap data anywhere so you can analyse 
it later. Rather than explain here I recommend you, and everyone else in 
fact, read and digest these tutorials.

They're a little out of date but still work perfectly well. I managed to 
help Ben Close stomp a bug in the wpi driver after reading these 
tutorials. All hail Michael Lucas. :P

The device on which your swap partition lives returned an I/O error
when data was read from it.  Probably your hard drive is failing.

panic : swap_pager

2007-07-24 Thread Zhang hw

Sometimes when I shutdown my system, it would tell me :
...
All buffers synced
Swap_pager: I/O error - pagein failed, blkno 744, size 4096, error 5
panic: swap_pager_force_pagein: read from swap failed
Uptime:...
Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
If press a key, the system will show:
-Press a key on the console to reboot
-or switch off the system now
uname -a: 6.2-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-P6 #3
Sometimes the blkno mybe with a different number after it.
Who can tell me how could deal with it?
Thanks!
