Managers,
Please excuse me if this a FAQ. One of our
3000/600 Alpha's complains about not having
enough swap space whenever a cpu-intensive
process is running (even though the processes
should fit into memory). This machine has
160 MB memory and 320 MB swap space. Here's
the output of "swapon -s":
Swap partition /dev/rz3b (default swap):
Allocated space: 40960 pages (320MB)
In-use space: 21268 pages ( 51%)
Free space: 19692 pages ( 48%)
Total swap allocation:
Allocated space: 40960 pages (320MB)
Reserved space: 36000 pages ( 87%)
In-use space: 21268 pages ( 51%)
Available space: 4960 pages ( 12%)
I'm confused about the reserved space. What
reserves this space, the system or processes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will
send a summary.
Thanks,
Steve
