Hi,

i'm using swapscape in over-commitment mode and sometimes get the
following messages:

:
:
Jan 22 04:21:17 tycho vmunix: swap space below 10 percent free
Jan 22 04:21:55 tycho last message repeated 3 times
Jan 22 04:22:53 tycho last message repeated 4 times
Jan 22 04:24:41 tycho last message repeated 2 times
Jan 22 04:24:41 tycho vmunix: process (pid = 693) killed because of
no swap space
Jan 22 04:24:53 tycho vmunix: swap space below 10 percent free
Jan 22 04:25:16 tycho vmunix: swap space below 10 percent free
Jan 22 04:26:06 tycho last message repeated 3 times
Jan 22 04:26:06 tycho vmunix: process (pid = 21998) killed because
of no swap space
:
:

is it possible to prevent the system from killing system processes??
because sometimes this results in a total system crash!

Thanks,

Peter
