A FBSD 4.7 server this morning locked up and when I got to the data center = I=20 found a bunch of IO error messages saying the pager couldn't allocate neede= d=20 swap space (or something close to that). Unfortunately these messages didn'= t=20 get logged anywhere that I could find and I didn't have anything on me to= =20 write them down. The server has 500mb ram and is usually using about 70% of= =20 that. The server didn't panic, but the console was not responsive so I had= =20 to do a cold reboot. Everything came back up fine. Any ideas on how to debug this further? This server has run with the same= =20 configuration (apache/zope/mysql/qmail) for about 2 years without any=20 issues. If something did actually use up all the swap, would what happened= =20 be normal behavior?=20 Chris
