I took the advice of this thread and implimented the swap settings, no more bog to death issues. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=69973
According to user nightfire there the Nokia settings are regular linux settings optomized for a spinning disc, I dont know enough about swap access to comment beyond what he writes.
My concern and why it I believe should be a canidate for fix in CSSU is that the average Meamo user shouldnt need to install an app to keep his/her phone from rebooting when the watchdog barks just from moving large files from their flash drive, microSD, or over the network.
Perhaps if a hard solution is not implimented swap could be adjusted only if a bogged situation is detected?
