I've started getting frequent "Swap space below 10 percent free" messages
on my Tru64 (v4.0D) system. Although the system is not overflowing with
memory (64 MBytes physical, 128 MByte swap partition), I have not seen
this problem before in the years that the system has been operating. As
far as I know there has been no (recent) changes in the software on the
system that might account for this.
The output of "swapon -s" yields:
Swap partition /dev/rz0b (default swap):
    Allocated space:        16384 pages (128MB)
    In-use space:            4639 pages ( 28%)
    Free space:             11745 pages ( 71%)
Total swap allocation:
    Allocated space:        16384 pages (128MB)
    Reserved space:         15307 pages ( 93%)
    In-use space:            4639 pages ( 28%)
    Available space:         1077 pages (  6%)
Why might the "reserved" space be such a large percentage? What should I
be looking at to track this problem down more precisely.
Thanks! I will summarize.
