Paul,

 

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago - mine was a failing hard drive.

 

While I am not a guru, I do know that you can add a swap *file* as a new
swap

device and then disable the other swap partition without rebooting.

 

This doesn't help you down the road too far, but it can solve your
250/1024 problem.

Hope this helps,
