How much memory should be required for
make -DBATCH
in www/chromium?
Make issues warnings about disk space required, but I don't recall seeing
anything about RAM or swap.
The system in question is an RPI3 running r341643. Make reached part
[18416/30819], at which point it seems to have stalled. The machine is
still (sluggishly) responsive, gstat is reporting
dT: 10.050s w: 10.000s
L(q) ops/s r/s kBps ms/r w/s kBps ms/w d/s kBps ms/d %busy Name

That it got stuck on reading, rather than writing, is a little surprising.
Swapinfo reports
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/mmcsd0s2b 4404252 2705928 1698324 61%
If this is expected, is there a way to reduce the number of threads started by make?
It's using four now, all in state SWREAD showing WCPU of zero to a few percent.
Top is reporting mostly idle, with system and interrupt at less than 10%. There are
swap_pager_getswapspace(32): failed
messages on the console, so it really is out of memory.
Thanks for reading!
