I am sure it is running out of swap space, becuase I have managed to get some messages about the OS killing processes in trying to salvage swap space as it is dieing. Question, is there any way to increase the swap space on the machine to a usable amount. I am familier with a 3B2 and know how to do it on that machine, (They have a nice start up procedure if you want do it). There appears to be no script to do it, and it does not give you the option when loading the OS. This problem has happend at LEAST 7 times in the last three weeks, I cant use the machine (with confidence) if this is not fixed. bob kuphal ihnp4!ihlpe!rdkuphal
