Yes indeed it's another machine.
In fact I just check and it's not running puppy precise.

You might need to delte a file in /tmp or /root ...

Do this and reboot your system for ...

Re: Strange disk usage

First of all, thanks for your reply!

This system indeed has 1G RAM and a 1G save file.

I'm not sure a swap partition is necessary as this is an embedded system that runs a single application, which is capped at a maximum of 256M of RAM usage.
We have about 60 computers running this specific ...

I attached my sysinfo report if that can help.

Strange disk usage

Hi everyone,

I have a recurring issue with one of our legacy system running Puppy Precise.

Every so often, a message will appear:
WARNING: RAM working space only 1MB,
recommend a reboot which will flush the RAM
