I have posted about this problem a few times and even
though I have received answers from list users nothing
has worked. I was downloading mediawiki on Debian
when I encountered a out of memory error and the
process was unable to fork. When I cat
/proc/partitions in the domU it shows:
major minor #blocks name
3 1 3072000 hda1
3 2 196608 hda2
and a top shows this:
top - 09:58:16 up 26 days, 19:13, 1 user, load
average: 0.03, 0.07, 0.05
Tasks: 50 total, 2 running, 48 sleeping, 0
stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, 100.0% id, 0.0%
wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
Mem: 129156k total, 92060k used, 37096k free,
0k buffers
Swap: 0k total, 0k used, 0k free,
59400k cached
That is the only problem that I believe I''m having
with my xen installs (yes all of my installs on Debian
exhibit the same problem).
I have sent my kernel configs and domain configs but
...
If someone can help let me know. I was thinking of
implementing a xen server for this company but I don''t
feel secure that in case things get heavy on the
server there will not be any swap space. I would
rather the server thrash swapping than die.

Is this because you never configured it? What does /etc/fstab contain? In particular, does it have any references to swap? Has the partition you intend to use for swap (/dev/hda2?) been formatted as such with mkswap? Are there any message in dmesg about swap? What happens if you do "/sbin/swapon -a"?
