- If you run out of swap space, the only way you'll see "No more
- processes" is if you are *also* running out of process table entries.
-
- I.e., the error messages you get as a result of running out of swap
- space aren't "No more processes" messages.
-
- If you're running out of process table slots, you should increase the
- number of process table slots. The way you increase the number of
- process table slots is to crank up the "maxusers" value in the "config"
- file, re-run "config", rebuild the kernel, install the new kernel, and
- reboot.
