Comment on How to check if server swap is a Linux / FreeBSD server performance bottleneck with vmstat by hip0.

Another way to do track server SWAP usage a bit more interactive is via the top command. Launching “top” and pressing capital O followed by p and enter will also provide you with a good information concerning a server swap usage.

How to check if server swap is a Linux / FreeBSD server performance bottleneck with vmstat
Note that on FreeBSD and possibly NetBSD, the vmstat output is a bit different.
A typical output from a FreeBSD host is as follows:

pcfreak# vmstat -p proc -h 5
procs memory page faults cpu
r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr in sy cs us sy id
0 10 0 2849M 29M 317 2 3 0 261 144 106 2426 1573 3 1 96
0 10 0 2849M 29M 159 0 0 0 147 0 21 3138 752 3 2 95
0 10 0 2849M 29M 0 0 0 0 0 0 101 92 781 0 0 100
0 10 0 2849M 29M 0 0 0 0 0 0 112 90 809 0 0 99

In this bsd vmstat output the page in/ page out described earlier in the article are marked as “pi and po” whether on gnu/linux this ones are marked as “si and so”. Therefore if you want to debug if a FreeBSD running server is swapping you need to check the pi and po for changes, if both (pi and po) are normally staying with number of 0 or rarely showing a result of one this is a sure indicator that the FreeBSD system is not swapping. Again if the pi, po fields are filled with high numbers then your BSD host is swapping and you certainly need to buy some extra memory or optimize your system to use less memory.

Big Church Scandal in the Bulgarian Orthodox Church the developments on how the Church basic law Establishment document is illegally broken and hope and action for truth to be restored

What is rather fun is during the anti-protest organized by Metropolitan Nikolay (with people only from the Plovdiv eparchy just like in the good old times of communism was financed by the unwilling people to go to the event). It was lied that the reason for Nikolay people to protest is because this is a protest in front of the Synod against the accepting of gay marriages (what a lie !!!). Besides that there is a many people from village called Krepost (if not mistaken the village) who were (protestants!) and came to protest in favour of the new anti people legislation (even though not orthodox christians), because they were mislead the protests are against the gays!

Metropolitan Nikolay has publicly asked priests in his eparchy to sign a document they're going to be present on the protests that should support the New Synodal "order". Those who were unwilling to cooperate of course can always be sent by their Metropolitan to a very distant village or even taken away their profession as priests so there was a lot of pressure put on those people.

Christ is Risen Eastern Orthodox Resurrection Paschal Greeting in Different Languages
Hi Stan,

I guess you cannot read the writtings on the icon as it is in cyrillic.
This is not Saint Mary and Saint Peter but Adam and Eve written in cyrillic on top of the icon.
Actually in orthodoxy it is a requirement for the depicted personalities, especially saints to have
written on the names of the saint and have the Halo. If you look closely at the picture you will notice
the two Adam and Eve are missing a Halo. The only person with a Halo in the icon is Saint John the Baptist.

Best Regards
Georgi
