:When under heavy load (Opengrok indexing, Hammer daily cleanup and bulk build
:running at the same time), its swap filled entirely
:
:This kernel message was logged on the console:
: swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
Ok, I believe I have fixed the problem. fork() was causing a
vm_object leak where old vm_object's were not being properly terminated,
leaving vm_page's intact and slowly causing swap to fill up. pkgbox64
is now running a new kernel.
