New, modern, p4-xeon based system.
4 GB physical RAM:
# dmesg|grep emory
real memory = 3489071104 (3327 MB)
avail memory = 3418656768 (3260 MB)
4 GB swap:
# swapinfo
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/da0s1b 4194304 40 4194264 0%
And because it has a multi-TB filesystem attached, it even has a big number here:
# cat /boot/loader.conf
kern.maxdsiz="3072000000"
So imagine my surprise when I:
# cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/mrtg ; make install

virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory
*** Error code 1
after this attempt, swapinfo still shows zero swap in use.
What does this mean ?
Is my system now in an unstable state ? Should I reboot ?
