Context: I'm deliberately testing building example poudriere-devel configurations with only 2 GiBytes of RAM and RAM+SWAP == 8.5 GiBytes, SWAP on a partition of its own.

I've a modified top that tracks some "MaxObs" (Maximum Observed) figures. They happened to show: Mem: . . . 1473Mi MaxObsActive, 477304Ki MaxObsWired, 1908Mi MaxObs(Act+Wir+Lndry) Swap: . . . 3101Mi MaxObsUsed, 4456Mi MaxObs(Act+Lndry+SwapUsed), 4887Mi MaxObs(A+Wir+L+SU), 4933Mi (A+W+L+SU+InAct) (The 4933Mi (A+W+L+SU+InAct) is from when 4887Mi MaxObs(A+Wir+L+SU) was live but is not a MaxObs figure itself.) It was paging significantly at the time, of course. It seems to have survived okay and everything continued to build. It got past the peak RAM+SWAP use activity. For reference: /usr/local/etc/poudriere.conf has . . .

MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER_LIMIT=2 /boot/loader.conf has . . . vm.pageout_oom_seq=120 rust and llvm18 were building at the time. The from-scratch bulk build is of 271 packages. 143 had already built. llvm18 was using more RAM+SWAP than rust and was working on some llvm-tblgen runs for AMDGPU at the time. The swap partition in use was/is: => 34 1875384941 da0 GPT (894G) . . 523773952 13631488 da0p10 freebsd-swap (6.5G) . . # uname -apKU FreeBSD aarch64-main-pkgs 15.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT main-n268827-75464941dc17 GENERIC-NODEBUG arm64 aarch64 1500015 1500015 That is a PkgBase kernel and PkgBase world combination. The poudriere bulk jail is also 75464941dc17 but was via the artifact build materials. The 2 GiBytes is via the RPi4B config.txt having total_mem=2048 . (I've no access to an aarch64 with 2 GiBytes of actual RAM.) The media is USB3. It happens to be U.2 Optane 960GB media via a USB3 adapter for U.2 .
