Recently, I attempted to do a 7 pass erase free space on my G4 PowerBook. About 1 hour into the process a message came up saying that my starup disk is full.
My 80GB hard drive has 58.05Gb of free space, my memory is 230MB used with 1050MB free, VM is 13,754 pageins, 0 pageouts, there is nothing in my login items, my apps file total is 5.58GB, Library file is 5.14GB, User file is 2.92GB, System file is 1.59GB, User Guides and App. Info File 6.3MB. I also recently verified and repaired disk permissions. I did notice in the Activity monitor that there is a kernel task that is using 1.10GB of VM.
I was told by a friend that one of the causes of this that he has seen is some kind of conflict in the system when using Limewire could this be a cause?
I also have 8 widgets on my dashboard and i know they eat up memory, could this be the cause?
Here is an example of my processes in terminal:

I also noticed there is a swap file located in /private/var/vm. I use a tool bar meters from MenuMeters and it tells me that this swap file is at peak usage. The file size is 64.0MB total swap space (0.0MB used)???????
Any ideas out there??
