Hi managers,

AS2100 + DU4.0D

What's the meaning of "reserved space? in the output
of the swapon -s command:

Swap partition /dev/re0b (default swap):
    Allocated space: 64000 pages (500MB)
    In-use space: 1 pages ( 0%)
    Free space: 63999 pages ( 99%)

Total swap allocation:
    Allocated space: 64000 pages (500MB)
    Reserved space: 48050 pages ( 75%)
    In-use space: 1 pages ( 0%)
    Available space: 15950 pages ( 24%)

Thanks in advance,

Ada
