We are running FreeBSD 2.0 on a 386/25 with 8 MB RAM and a 400-MB hard disk; the filesystem is set up with a 25-MB root partition, 25-MB swap and 350-MB /usr. We're getting a lot of swap-related errors while running majordomo. Frequently these appear on the console as "Swap_pager: out of space"; after sevral of these in rapid succession, a "Process 12345 killed by vm_fault: out of swap." I'd hoped that 25 MB would be ample for swap (being a good bit more than 2 x amount of RAM). Do we need to set an environmental variable to save tmp files on /usr or something? Or is there another way out of this? Thanks for any help. Oh also, with the recent creation of the freebsd newsgroups, is there a consensus on the best place to post questions like this?
