| Hi Evaldo,
|
| Do you have swap space available when this happens?
|

Absolutely. this box never gets 500M swap used. highest I ever saw is
400M on VERY HIGH activity (which happened only once, when we had a task
force going on here). right now, swap usage is 3M
I just added 500M more swap to it, just in case (swap partition)

Oh. and I had memtest86 run the 'full test' for 4 days non-stop before
going production ;)

Thanks
Evaldo Gardenali
