Package: swapspace Version: 1.8-1 Severity: normal I'm running swapspace because the swap partition on this box is much too small (only ~192MB). The problem is, swapspace keeps dying, without any error messages. It leaves behind the pid file, which I have to delete to restart it, but after a while it dies again. Sometimes it refuses to start, with this error:
Starting dynamic swap manager: swapspaceInitial memory status: would prefer 113588600 extra bytes Notice: Allocating swapfile '1' swapspace: swaps.c:411: make_swapfile: Assertion `max_swapsize == trunc_to_page(max_swapsize)' failed. /etc/init.d/swapspace: line 45: 17797 Aborted $STARTCMD There aren't any other programs regularly dying on this machine, so I don't think it's bad memory or something like that. dmesg doesn't show anything related to swapspace, but since it seems to die when memory usage is high, it makes me wonder if Linux is silently killing the program? I have a couple GB of disk space free on / so there should be more than enough disk space for new swapfiles. I've made no changes to the default configuration file.
