# mkfile 1024m /swapfile
# swap -a /swapfile
# vi /etc/vfstab
added /swapfile line in /etc/vfstab file
but still getting same

zsh: fork failed: not enough space

what is the reason? any solution for this?

Try a

df -h

df -h not working.

#df -h
illegal option -h.

what is the alternate solution?

Could be a problem in zsh, malloc()/libc or the kernel. Try to reinstall or upgrade at least 1 of the 3.

df without the -h :)
