 Hi,
 
 I noticed the same problem on 6.2-RELEASE on a heavily loaded storage
 system running rsync.
 When multiple clients connect to the rsync box and start filling up the
 memory with file-lists, the machine (once in a while) locks up with the
 same messages : 
 
 swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 43638, size: 4096
 swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 43947, size: 32768
 swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 44007, size: 4096
 swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 47939, size: 32768
 
 The machine becomes non-responsive unfortunatly.
