Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, i have a strange problem i looked through the archives but couldn't find the answer that would fit my question :( anyway, i have a huge (i think) swap Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/wd0s1b 204800 7228 197508 4% Interleaved And everything seemed to work just fine until just couple of days ago, when all the sudden processes started being killed because the system thinks it's out of swap space. most of the time it's the procmail process that is being killed: pid 1277 (procmail), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space When actually it doesn't have even 2Mb total of files in the /var/spool/mqueue to process. Also, if i start top it says 41Mb of ram is free, so i am not sure why it would even go into swap? thanks. val To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
