If FreeBSD 13.4 can still swapping out process kernel stacks, you may want the likes of /etc/sysctl.conf to have: # # Together this pair avoids swapping out the process kernel stacks. # This avoids processes for interacting with the system from being # hung-up by such. vm.swap_enabled=0 vm.swap_idle_enabled=0 (I've no clue that that is why you lost control but it may be a possibility.) (main [FreeBSD 15] no longer does such swapping out of any process kernel stacks and the 2 settings have been removed.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
