Has anybody else seen this? Yes. I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 on a PII 300MHz with 64MB RAM and a 40GB hard drive. It works great until I run portupgrade on mysql-server. Then it runs out of swap space and I get console error messages and have to reboot. I haven't dug into it yet, but several months ago I redirected the swap file to a different location to increase the size. I'll have to do some research to find out exactly what I did and how much space I gave it and how to increase it. I haven't had time yet to do it. Don't know why building mysql-* (and possibly some others) takes so much swap space. I first encountered it running portmanager -u and didn't realize for a couple of days (and four or five freeze-ups) what was happening. -- Roger
