what is the meaning of kernel message "out of swap space"? well, it maybe a stupid question, but my FreeBSD-2.2.7 (updated from CVS 07-Oct) have rebooted spontaneously, with this message reported to the system console and error log. what should i do to prevent such behavior in the future? i have 256Mb swap partition; imho this should be enough for any reasonable task (normally about 30Mb is allocated). when some dumb process whants to get more, i'd rather like to kill that process (or, better, report to it that memory allocation failed), not the whole system. next. is there any way to enforce an unattended boot-up after non-clean shutdown? i have the root file system mounted with "sync" option, but i still get propmted to enter single-user mode if "clean" flag is not set. so, i have to plug in the system console, enter single-user mode, and say "reboot" at the command prompt. can i automate this process to avoid manual intervention? thanks, alex.
