I just built a 10.2 machine on a cloud-based VPS (Digital Ocean) that has 512M of memory and 1G of swap partition. I am seeing a ton of errors like this: Aug 14 00:01:22 myhost kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(10): failed Aug 14 00:01:22 myhost kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(14): failed Aug 14 00:01:22 myhost kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(11): failed Aug 14 00:01:22 myhost kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(6): failed Aug 14 00:01:22 myhost kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace(7): failed Aug 14 00:01:22 myhost last message repeated 2 times So, I added this to fstab (after creating /usr/swap0): md99 none swap sw,file=/usr/swap0 0 0 And then did this: swapon -aq But, when I do a swapinfo, all I can see is the "disk" swap partition that comes standard with the VPS: Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity /dev/gpt/swapfs 1048576 456572 592004 44% Two questions: 1) Is this reasonable behavior from a machine wiht 512M of memory and a 1G swap partition? I am doing things like running clamscan and buildworld at the same time. That's why I tried to add space with a file. 2) Why doesn't the extra swap disk appear in the hostinfo output.
