Hello! I would like to report that, likely, in FreeBSD version 14.0-stable, file swapping is broken. To confirm, here is what I tried to do and what I achieved. In order to reproduce the problem, please follow the following steps. I was following this tutorial https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/create-a-freebsd-swap-file/ I created a large swap file (8192 MiB) and saved it to /root/swap.8G.bin. After that, I ran sudo chmod 0600 /root/swap.8G.bin After that, I updated fstab by adding the following line to the end. md42 none swap sw,file=/root/swap.8G.bin 0 0 On running sudo swapon -aq I got the swap file working initially, and I saw it after running swapinfo. But on reboot, it disappeared. Thank you for your help. Artyom.
