Lately, I have been playing with -current on a test system. When I do a "make -j 8 world", everything always works fine with small to moderate amounts of swap usage. When I do a "make -j 32 world", as expected, I encounter a greatly increased amount of swap usage. However, it doesn't ever finish. After a long time, everything simply stops and it cannot start any new programs. If I happen to have top already running, I can switch to it and see numerous processes stuck in the "inode" state. I have no reason to suspect hardware trouble and I think I have plenty of swap space for this to complete, if only it didn't hang. What should I do to find (or help somebody find) the problem? P5/MMX 233MHz, 430FX/PIIX3, 64MB EDO DRAM, 2940U, Quantum/DEC DSP3210. - Tony To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
