Because I forgot to sent this mail to the mailing list, I'm forwarding
every mail regarding this issue



I did not see any specific queue in th submit script
have you specified the following for the queue you are using

resources_default.mem #available ram 
resources_default.pvmem #virtual memory

    Hi

    I need to use the swap. I know I don't have enough RAM, but the job must
    be able to run. Even if it swaps a lot.
    Time is not an issue here.
    On 1 machine the job uses about 7.4GB swap. We don't have any other
    machines with more RAM to run it on.
    Otherwise the other option is to run the job outside torque/maui, but I
    rather don't do that.

    Can some tell me how to read the checkjob -v output, because I don't
    understand how to find errors in it.
