I am getting alot of these in my dmesg output: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed swap_pager_getswapspace: failed swap_pager_getswapspace: failed swap_pager_getswapspace: failed swap_pager_getswapspace: failed swap_pager_getswapspace: failed FreeBSD ns2.wananchi.com 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #4: \ Thu May 2 09:54:01 EAT 2002 wash@ns2.wananchi.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SRV4.x i386 I've seen processes die because of this. I've checked the archives and Ben Smithurst suggested that one increases swap space. How does one do this on a LIVE system? Suggestions? Here is my space usage currently.. wash@ns2 ('tty') ~ 101 -> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 4.7G 206M 4.2G 5% / /dev/da1s1f 4.7G 4.1G 299M 93% /backup /dev/da0s1f 6.9G 2.7G 3.7G 42% /home /dev/da0s1e 4.7G 2.0G 2.4G 46% /usr /dev/da1s1e 11G 9.2G 1.2G 88% /var /dev/da2s1e 16G 6.1G 9.0G 40% /home2 procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc How can I use that space on the / for swap?
