Hi,

Your swapfile is too small. You have one maybe two options:

1) Create another swapfile and add it to the system. In v4.x you add it to /etc/fstab, in v5.x you add it to system parameter swapdevice in /etc/sysconfigtab.

2) If swap mode is immediate (a.k.a. eager) you can switch it to deferred (a.k.a. lazy). In v4.x delete soft link /sbin/swapdefault, in v5.x in /etc/sysconfitab set system parameter vm-swap-eager to 0. A reboot will be required.

Victor's advice is correct.

What version are you running?
What changed? More load?
Check current swap usage with: swapon -s

SYNOPSIS

/sbin/swapon [-a | -v | -p | -s | -d | -F] [-D device] [-l size] [-h
size] filename
