Hm. Have you tried using Sierra Cache Cleaner (they have one for every OS name, just Google yours) in deep clean mode? > On Mar 11, 2018, at 8:37 PM, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > > My system log is showing me things like this: > > Mar 11 19:20:35 keybounceMBP kernel[0]: low swap: suspending pid 14091 (firefox) > Mar 11 19:20:35 keybounceMBP kernel[0]: low swap: suspending pid 936 (Dragon Dictate) > Mar 11 19:20:35 keybounceMBP kernel[0]: memorystatus_thread: idle exiting pid 96 [wdhelper] > Mar 11 19:20:35 keybounceMBP kernel[0]: (default pager): [KERNEL]: Swap File Error. > > My boot-args is just > boot-args -v -s > > I have approximately 2 GB of compressed space, and zero bytes of swap used. > > bash-3.2# ls /var/vm > total 1114112 > 65536 swapfile0 1048576 swapfile1 > bash-3.2# > > The system is able to allocate swap files, but for some reason is refusing to use them. Also, in the past I moved away from compressed swap to "just go directly to swap files" because I discovered that my system would consistently wind up with about 10 GB of compressed space, leaving with only 6 GB of working space. I recently reset it to use the normal compressed swap because I'm no longer using the heavy workload that needed more than 6 GB of working space. > > My old boot args was > boot-args -v -s vm_compressor=1 > and it worked fine until my boot partition ran out of space (At which point it died horrifically; in contrast, although the compressed swap setup won't use the swap file, and runs into trouble much much sooner, it is graceful and the "out of memory panel" actually works.) > > --- > Entertaining minecraft videos > http://YouTube.com/keybounce > > _______________________________________________ > MacOSX-talk mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
