No argument from me, Alan. It isn't just the kernel that gets nervous - I do too if I don't have any swap available. I have 32 GB and an 8 GB swap, which I'm thinking of reducing (the swap, that is). My SSD is only 256 GB and my boinc partition has filled up today, so I need to recover some unused space. -- Regards Peter
