Hello Can't find any relevant info googling so maybe you guys can help out... I recently upgraded to Panther, and as with jaguar chose to create a separate swap partition. I, like many other people it seems, are seeing panther eating through swap space much faster than Jaguar did. I've moved my swap to a different partition as described here; <http://www.math.columbia.edu/~bayer/OSX/swapfile/index.html> Everything has been fine, except twice now I've found myself running out of space. What I've found weird, and what I'm asking about is the size of the vm files Panther creates. Jaguar just went up in 80mb chunks - jaguar doesn't seem to do that, right now /volumes/swap/.vm contains: -rw------T 1 root wheel 64M 25 Mar 15:59 swapfile0 -rw------T 1 root wheel 64M 25 Mar 16:15 swapfile1 -rw------T 1 root wheel 128M 25 Mar 16:41 swapfile2 -rw------T 1 root wheel 256M 25 Mar 16:41 swapfile3 -rw------T 1 root wheel 512M 25 Mar 22:07 swapfile4 So it seems the files Panther is adding increase in size! This is not a good combination with my 2Gb swap partition, it's only 81% full, with near 400mb still to fill and yet panther complains that the disk is 'full'. Clearly it's tried to add either another 512mb swapfile, or most probably a gigabyte sized swapfile! Presumably it would go on to add 2 gig, 4gig, 8gig and so on exponentially increasing the swapfile size... Anybody else seen this and know if the behavior can be tweaked? Adrian
