Hello, Yesterday I ran into a strange problem on a moderately loaded FreeBSD 4.3R mail server (about 5K messages / week). I suddendly got the following error message: Dec 18 16:48:55 mailhost /kernel: swap_pager: out of swap space Dec 18 16:48:55 mailhost /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed And then I had no other option than to press the hardware Reset button. There was no way to access the machine. After rebooting the server went on to work as before, without any further problems. The machine is an IDE-based Pentium 200MHz with sendmail 8.11 / qpopper 2.53, and at the time of the crash had an uptime of about 150 days. The swap partition is 132 MB. I'm rather clueless about where to look to find the cause for the crash... I found no *.core files. Any idea? -- Cleto To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
