Hi
I'm running a FreeBSD 4.11 system on my laptop, before that i had 4.10 and it's always worked great, i can't think of any new major changes i've made or things i've done in the last months. Just recently it started unmounting my swap partition for some reason, i get no warning but i have started checking dmesg and see it happen. Only a reboot can fix it, i've tried doing swapon /dev/partition as listed in fstab but it returns invalid argument. One warning signal which i can see if i continue using the laptop like usual for a while after the unmount is that firefox gets killed, or any other heavy application. Of course this is a cause of not having any swap mounted and dmesg tells me that.
As i had recently switched to XFCE from fluxbox i suspected it was too heavy for my laptop but switching back to fluxbox made no difference. One thing that did happen just before the problems was a lib issue after a portupgrade, it forced me to map a few libs to their current versions in libmap.conf but i had it running for at least a few weeks after that without problems, it is hard to tell though.
This is my libmpa.conf file. ========= #firefox libglib-2.0.so.400 libglib-2.0.so.600
#thunderbird libgtk-x11-2.0.so.400 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.600 libgdk-x11-2.0.so.400 libgdk-x11-2.0.so.600 libatk-1.0.so.800 libatk-1.0.so.901 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.400 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.600 libpangoxft-1.0.so.600 libpangoxft-1.0.so.800 libpangox-1.0.so.600 libpangox-1.0.so.800 libpango-1.0.so.600 libpango-1.0.so.800 libgobject-2.0.so.400 libgobject-2.0.so.600 libgmodule-2.0.so.400 libgmodule-2.0.so.600
#file-roller libpangoft2-1.0.so.600 libpangoft2-1.0.so.800 libgthread-2.0.so.400 libgthread-2.0.so.600 =========
This is the message i get indicating that my swap partition is no longer mounted.
swap_pager_getswapspace: failed
I sure hope someone knows what to do and if you want to suggest migrating to the 5 branch then thats ok because i've been thinking of doing that.
I'm using an IBM ThinkPad R40 with 256MB of RAM and a 1.9GHz Pentium 4 Mobile CPU.
