Now, that kswapd is killable, in fact it only becomes zombie, when SIGKILL is sent to it. And not only that. If I run 'init 1' to go temporary to single user mode, killall script zombifies kswapd (without asking me). If I later return to multiuser level (plain ctrl-D), kswapd cannot be started again. Or at least I didn't come up with a solution. I think that is bad thing to happen. If kswapd has to be killable (is it really necessary?), than we should not lost it by simple changing runlevels (people do that, trust me). Any clues? -- Zlatko -- This is a majordomo managed list.
