You probably have a failing HD.  Back up and replace before the damage
becomes worse and you lose data.

Nope, it's in /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf now.  The file is
entirely commented out so it was a NOP to have it in /etc/defaults.

Sort of..but it also lists options that are only legal within specific
port makefiles (like USE_*).

Post your make.conf and I'll probably be able to tell you what's wrong.

OK, my problem doesn't seem to be exactly the same. My machine hangs, and 
when I check it the console screen is filled with the message, "swap-pager: 
indefinite wait buffer: bufobj: 0, blkno: 26650, size: 4096" and at that 
point the only thing I can do is a hard reboot -- it's not reacting to 
input at all.


My /etc/make.conf in its entirety is

# added by use.perl 2006-01-18 08:04:37
PERL_VER=5.8.7
PERL_VERSION=5.8.7

I was surprised to find there is no /etc/defaults/make.conf any more -- 
that may have something to do with it. I haven't been paying very close 
attention until now.

Yes. I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 on a PII 300MHz with 64MB RAM and a 40GB hard 
drive. It works great until I run portupgrade on mysql-server. Then it runs 
out of swap space and I get console error messages and have to reboot. I 
haven't dug into it yet, but several months ago I redirected the swap file to 
a different location to increase the size. I'll have to do some research to 
find out exactly what I did and how much space I gave it and how to increase 
it. I haven't had time yet to do it. Don't know why building mysql-* (and 
possibly some others) takes so much swap space. I first encountered it 
running portmanager -u and didn't realize for a couple of days (and four or 
five freeze-ups) what was happening.



This really has become more dramatic:
Usually - when I run a portupgrade - about half of my RAM is used 
and I can still work on my Gnome desktop without any swapping or 
serious performance losses.
Now every port produces this Max recursion message and 
applications become unusable.
