I'm guessing here, but I'm guessing that you can take: [bill@bilbo bill]$ head -2 /proc/1223/maps 08048000-0804d000 r-xp 00000000 09:01 2235926 /bin/login 0804d000-0804e000 rw-p 00004000 09:01 2235926 /bin/login I'm willing to bet that if /bin/login were a culprit that the block in swap would correlate with the mapped page in maps. I'm assuming/hoping that the physical address in the swap partition directly maps to the numbers in /proc/<pid>/maps but I'm not sure, if not I'm guessing a few kernel tweaks would be necessary to find the mapping. > > > Matt > > -- > > ************************************************* > * Matt Roper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * > * http://www.mattrope.com * > * PGP Key: http://www.mattrope.com/mattrope.asc * > ************************************************* > _______________________________________________ > vox-tech mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech -- Bill Broadley Mathematics/Institute of Theoretical Dynamics UC Davis _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
