Hello Alpha/Digital UNIX Managers!

1.) Is it alright to have a swap space more than 2.5 - 3 times the memory
size? What might be the implications (advantages and disadvantages) if
such setup is implemented?

These are currently my disk space settings/layout:

Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/rz3a 126334 88956 24744 78% /
/proc 0 0 0 100% /proc
/dev/rz3g 1732204 1371234 187748 88% /usr
/dev/rz3h 1734396 1149344 411612 74% /u1

2.) What is the use of the /proc filesystem and why is it always full?

3.) With the setup above, can the swap space be allocated other than in the
/dev/rzXb, and aside from /dev/rzXg and /dev/rzXh filesystems?

4.) Can AdvFS be implemented also in the swap space filesystem? What might
be the consequences of such?
