Due to the circumstance I have no access anymore to the host in question,
I'll
report a problem occured out of the blue around last week's update of
CURRENT
with poudriere and swapspace.

Problem: under heavy load, the host dies - no ssh connection possible
anymore,
all jails are in the state "dead".
The box in question is running CURRENT, most recent, last update yesterday
morning (28th of June, around 1400 UTC). Revision numbers are added as soon
I
have access to the box again.

The host has 16 GB phsyical RAM and 64 GB configured swap - which the kernel
complains about to increase swapzone or something similar. The host runs
poudriere with both CURRENT and 12-STABLE jails (both recent versions). In
the
past 18 months we pushed the box to the limits with poudriere allwoing 4
poudriere jobs with each 4 threads - never had any problem except slowing
down
the system, but always responsive anyhow and never crashing or loosing
network
connection.

The first time the box died this way was 28th, after the last update of both
host and jails has been performed 26th June, ~ 1400 UTC. Jails running
12-stable are the first poudriere jobs running and that is the state were
the
first crash/hung occured yesterday.

Is this a known problem?
There was a situation very similar to yours mentioned over the last week
on freebsd-stable@. By Donald Wilde, under the title: swap space issues
I believe he also used 12.
There was a great deal of technical advice that appeared to improve his
situation. Interestingly; he was also experiencing this on his "builder"
altho he was using synth as opposed to poudriere.

Maybe it'll help your situation?
