freebsd stable - Nov 2017 - Random freezes of my FreeBSD droplet (DigitalOcean)

Hi,

Thanks for this idea.

Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
/dev/zvol/zroot/swap   2097152   310668  1786484    15%

Will check why at all swap is used when the VM is not used. But yes - as
it's a image provided by DO the swap is on the zvol...

Yeah, don't do that.? I have a DO Zfs-enabled FreeBSD deployment and I
have the swap on /dev/gpt/swap0 (a regular slice)... no problems.

$ uptime
?9:17AM? up 174 days,? 2:06, 1 users, load averages: 0.89, 0.80, 0.83
