You need to find some free memory for the additional processes to run in, and you have lots of inactive pages, so I think you want to swap out _more_ pages. I'd suggest to temporarily add a swapfile before you update your system. This can even help in bringing your memory use to the state before if you do it like this - swapon additional swapfile - update your database software - swapoff swap partition - swapon swap partition - swapoff additional swapfile Tim - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
