:Helllo,
:
:I am experiencing problems regarding the swap handler.
:
:I am running 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #10
:
:The box is running apache-1.3.9, cucipop v1.32, and sendmail 8.9.3, and
:also runs as an NFS client.
:
:Kernel is configured with 512 MAXUSERS, swap device is 400MB with
:real memory = 134201344 (131056K bytes)
:avail memory = 126275584 (123316K bytes)
:
:Apache is is configured to run with
:MinSpareServers 50 MaxSpareServers 100
:
:The box runs without any problems, and not using very much swap space for
:about 24 hours, then suddenly it generates the error message:
:
:Jan 19 13:03:03 <kern.crit> hostname /kernel: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
:
:and about 1 min later, it stops responding to any service requests.
:
:I would be gratefull for any hints or suggestions concerning what might
:cause this fatal problem and possible solutions.
:
:CW
It sounds like some process is running away on you. I recommend you
open up several windows and run various system monitoring utilities in
each one. 'vmstat 1', 'systat -vm 1', 'top', and so forth.
