Hi all- I am running 2.4.20-ben8 on an iBook. I have 384 megs of RAM, and a 400 meg swap partition.
fdisk -l yields: dump: name /dev/hda len 8 /dev/hda1 Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1 ( 31.5k) Partition map /dev/hda2 Apple_Bootstrap bootstrap 1600 @ 64 (800.0k) NewWorld bootblock /dev/hda3 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 819200 @ 1664 (400.0M) Linux swap /dev/hda4 Apple_UNIX_SVR2 root 28481760 @ 820864 ( 13.6G) Linux native /dev/hda5 Apple_Boot MOSX_OF3_Booter 16384 @ 29302624 ( 8.0M) Unknown /dev/hda6 Apple_Loader SecondaryLoader 1024 @ 29319008 (512.0k) Unknown /dev/hda7 Apple_UFS MacOSX 29285080 @ 29320032 ( 14.0G) Unknown /dev/hda8 Apple_Free 8 @ 58605112 ( 4.0k) Free space and running 'dmesg | grep swap' yields the two lines: Starting kswapd Adding Swap: 409592k swap-space (priority -1) But when I attempt to use ant to compile our large project at work (with a little over a thousand java files), I get an out of memory expception. Running 'top' shows me that my memory gets used up (as I would kind of expect), but 'used swap' never leaves 0k. The swap is simply not being used. I tried 'swapon /dev/hda3', but got 'device or resource busy' Can anyone think of what I might be doing wrong? Thanks, Mark
