My PC has 12 GB of RAM and no swap. I ran the test after my commit. I tried to enable swap but writing to the swap does completly crash my kernel. My / uses btrfs and btrfs doesn't look to support swap files, even with a loopback device. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14107> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
