It gets worse when /var is on the same partition as /. For memory-backed /tmp the swap mechanism will be activated when RAM is fully in use. And when you have occupied both RAM and swap, you have a bigger problem than just your "log distillator" not working. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
