Description void 2025-11-11 12:32:33 UTC 
Hello,

Installed FreeBSD-16.0-CURRENT-arm-armv7-GENERICSD-20251103-088ced14a69b-281661.img
to microsd and booted.

Saw this in /var/log/messages

========
kernel: warning: total configured swap (493567 pages) exceeds maximum 
recommended amount (493248 pages)."
========

fstab entry for swap is:

/dev/label/growfs_swap  none            swap    sw              0       0

I didn't create or size this entry - it's there by default.
I don't know where swap is sized in this context.

kern.maxswapzone is 0, the default.
