Hello,

I'm moving to a new server dedicated hosts.
I've choose to install FreeBSD 8.0 and I've already upgrade to -stable.

I've two hd sata 160Gb each: ad4, ad6.

I've split them in two slices: ad[46]s1, ad[46]s2.

gmirror ad*s1 -> gm0
gstripe   ad*s2 -> gs0

then I've applied gjournal to both of them and finally I've partitioned,

Ram: 1Gb
The cpu is Athlon x64 3200+


Then problem:

everytime it need to swap, the system freeze and I've to reset to make 
it return managed over ssh.


Is GEOM so bad to make this trouble? Any other idea?
