Hi, I have been getting this error message on my FreeBSD 3.3 system: swap_pager: Out of Swap space. After digging a little bit, we found that there is a lot of memory leakage happening. This is how we went about finding: ps -aux for the process showed that vsz column was increasing very fast. But the rss column was almost stable( was not changing much). pstat -S also showed drastic fall in available swap space. My question is what could be the reason for this drastic increase in vsz column of ps -aux output? Is it because of unfreed malloced memory? Why rss is stable? Somebody could help me when will the vsz(virtual size) increases? thanks a lot --gb -- Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
