I had a DragonFly 1.8.2 system lock up on me completely - even the console was frozen. All that was printed was a long series of this:
swap_pager_getswapspace: failed I hit the power button and rebooted, but I've noticed an ongoing series of this: (from dmesg) > pid 788 (imapd), uid 1006: exited on signal 6 > pid 806 (imapd), uid 1006: exited on signal 6 > pid 815 (imapd), uid 1006: exited on signal 6 > pid 825 (imapd), uid 1006: exited on signal 6 > swap_pager_getswapspace: failed > swap_pager_getswapspace: failed > swap_pager_getswapspace: failed > swap_pager_getswapspace: failed (repeat...) Investigating, one of the user accounts has some multi-gigabyte backup files in ~, and imap-uw is trying to index them as mail messages. The error here lies either in my configuration or imap-uw, but: it appears to have locked up the system after a while. Should that runaway application have been able to bring down the entire computer that way?
