If the system runs out of swap, then (unfortunately) you need more swap space. You will need to partition your disks to add more space, or maybe another drive. I am usually very generous with swap space when I install a system. You won't likely need the amount of swap space that I have, and don't be surprised with the amount of space that I have allocated: Device 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/wd0s2b 307200 0 307072 0% Interleaved /dev/wd1s1b 201600 0 201472 0% Interleaved /dev/wd2b 204800 0 204672 0% Interleaved /dev/wd3b 204800 0 204672 0% Interleaved /dev/wd4b 500000 0 499872 0% Interleaved /dev/wd6b 722925 0 722797 0% Interleaved Total 2140557 0 2140557 0% When my system pages, I barely notice it, due to the amount of interleaving and speed of disks. I just rebooted, so I haven't used any swap space yet and haven't loaded my system much (this is the system that I develop kernel code on.) -- John dyson@freebsd.org jdyson@nc.com
