I started getting the infamous "swap space below ten percent free" this
morning. When I run swapon -s this is what I get:
Swap partition /dev/re0b (default swap):
Allocated space: 62716 pages (489MB)
In-use space: 5128 pages ( 8%)
Free space: 57588 pages ( 91%)
Swap partition /dev/re8c:
Allocated space: 65280 pages (510MB)
In-use space: 4923 pages ( 7%)
Free space: 60357 pages ( 92%)
Total swap allocation:
Allocated space: 127996 pages (999MB)
Reserved space: 110212 pages ( 86%)
In-use space: 10051 pages ( 7%)
Available space: 17784 pages ( 13%)
Why does each partition show 90+% free but the total available free is 13%?
I know I've seen this question asked before, but I searched the archives and
really found no answer to this problem. Should I consider buying more RAM?
Thanks,
Bill Frederick
