Hello all, In the past three weeks I have been installing 2.0R and MANY ports! I was running Linux with the then latest kernel patch. I have a 30M swap space and 8M of ram. I am having a problem of running out of vm. Mostly while I am in X and have a few processes running. Just now I had slip, netscape, 3 xterms, axe, and clock active while ft was extracting. When directing netscape to another page, it was killed bye running out of vm:-( A vmstat right after produces: procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr f0 w0 w1 in sy cs us sy id 0 3 0 69924 68 30 3 4 2 34 273 0 0 151 550 84 56 21 9 70 Should that many process take up all of vm??? At boot up time swap is "turned on", or at least the message says it is. Is there something more I can do, besides buying more mem at this time:-) Thanks Chris ----------------------------------------------------------- root@tippy.cybernetics.net | Tippy is now running cmadison@cybernetics.com | FreeBSD cmmadiso@uncc.edu | 2.0 ----------------------------------------------------------- http://www.cybernetics.net/users/cmadison/homepage.html
