The full message was "swap zone exhausted, increase kern.maxswzone" - I guess that actual swap wasn't exhausted, but just space for metadata. So in tmpfs' defense, AMD64 boots with a kern.maxswzone of 32MB like i386, which only allows ~7 GB of swap to be allocated. I'll see if I can get the machine to wedge again, then increase kern.maxswzone, and repeat. -- Sean Collins Core IT Pro, LLC www.coreitpro.com
