Hello,
I've got a freshly installed amd64 (dual core opteron) system running the
latest snapshot (bsd.mp kernel). I have 1GB of ram and a 1GB swap
partition. The machine has next to nothing on it at this point, not even X.
The only packages I have installed are postfix, fetchmail and procmail (all
from the latest openbsd snapshot). After letting the system sit for about
24 hours I sat down on the console to find a dozen or so "out of swap"
errors like this:
UVM: pid 23358 (sshd), uid 0 killed: out of swap
UVM: pid 11042 (newsyslog), uid 0 killed: out of swap
etc...
I had an ssh session already open into the box so I was able to execute
"top". Top showed very little memory usage (about 10MB) and no swap usage.
I've searched the net and usenet for similar issues but the only posters I
see having such problems are people trying to run extremely minimal systems
like 16MB of ram and no swap partition. Any ideas on how I could be "out of
swap" when I seemingly wasn't using hardly any RAM and no swap?
Thanks,
Jeff
