Hi folks, FreeBSD 11-Stable recent build. I've set up a FreeBSD instance in AWS with 1GB RAM. Since I needed some more, I decided to create a swap partition (there are none by default on AWS) and I created a 1GB file under /usr on the instance FS and proceeded to mount it as swap. Even if the machine isn't doing anything, after one day or less the machine becomes unresponsive and must be rebooted. I solved this by buying a 2GB instance, but maybe this issue may be insteresting for someone to look into? Giulio
