Hi everybody,
I experience a problem with memory while running a program.
Probably I am just misunderstanding memory management (I am just a beginner!),
but the situation looks strange to me. Here is the error message I get while
running:
betarun: 13818 Memory fault - core dumped
What looks strange to me is that, while vmstat shows free pages going down
to almost zero while the program is running, swap space on disk (which is
huge), remains almost unused.
Could you please point me to an explaination why the swap space is almost
not used, even when more free pages are needed?
Thank you all in advance
Claudio
