Hello, I have a little understanding problem: My box has 128MB memory, far enough for the task. After a few days I always see some processes dying because: +swap_pager_getswapspace(2): failed +pid 48211 (perl5.8.8), uid 58, was killed: out of swap space Why won't for example the 21MB Buf get freed before more swap space gets requested than available (swap is very low, it's FlashDisk!)? Is there a way to find out what process is swapped? Thanks for any hints. My only way to circumvent this problem is to reboot the machine daily. -Harry
