X-Sun-Spots-Digest: Volume 7, Issue 63, message 5 of 11

The only tricky part about this message is that it is not obvious that "x"
means "swap."  So, you probably are getting a disk (or nd on 3.X, or NFS
on 4.0) error in the swap area for the workstation that gets the error.
If you have a Ciprico driver older than about January 1988 and the
workstation is a client with its swap space on a Ciprico-controlled disk,
you may be encountering a bug in the driver, though.
