Applications Crash getswapspace(16) failed

[aorchid]

Hello,

I am not sure where to post this query, but it seems like it is a FreeBSD issue and not KDE/Emacs, but I could be wrong.

In the past week I have been having difficulty with Emacs in particular crashing. I have seen the following error in the kernel log, but I don't know what to do about it.

+swap_pager_getswapspace(16): failed

This is repeated multiple times from yesterday after the Emacs crash. The number at the end is variable.

I am running Emacs-24.3 on

FreeBSD freeenv 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #0 r248590: Thu Mar 21 12:44:17 PDT 2013     root@freeenv:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Try # top and # ps aux|less.

It is to show what is using the swap space and who/what is logged into your system.

Yes, I used the Boolean search.
