Folks,

I have a nanobsd build for the Gateworks aviala board
that ran out of swap last night.

    avila# May 13 03:01:13 avila-master kernel: pid 2642 (sort), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space

That suggests /etc/periodic/daily/470.status-named was the source.

As per the "avila" nano-config file, there is no swap.
I only possibly have compact flash space available.
So my real question is, should I try to configure some,
or should we be able to re-formulate the 470.staus-named
such that it doesn't need to swap?

Thanks,
jdl
