Hello,
Among others, I inherited a ds20 running 4.0F. It has one gig of memory in
it but whomever did the install only gave it 128megs of swap space. Thus
the spurious messages about "swap space being below 10 percent free" and
eventually "unable to obtain requested swap space". These messages are
being produced even though vmstat shows plently of free memory.
I am just double checking with you guys, I think I know the correct thing
to do :)
I would imagine the way to go to correct this problem (short of cludging
the disklables and creating a bigger swap partition, these disks are all
running ufs) would be to change the swap mode to "lazy". The only thing
happening on this box is an oracle application that serves about 3 gigs
worth of data to around 50 clients. Not *that* big of a deal for a box
with one gig of memory. Am I correct here? Just "mv /sbin/swapdefault
/sbin/swapdefault.save" and reboot?
Sound good to you guys?
Thanks!
Greg
