Hi,
Is it possible to tell exactly which processes are using swap space,
and how much?
Yes, use prstat(1) (http://illumos.org/man/1m/prstat). Note that it has
a column for swap, look for 'SWAP' in the manual page.
The manpage seems to be wrong. The column name displayed by prstat is SIZE.
Ah, no. The manpage is not wrong. It is just incomplete. It is missing the
description for column SIZE.
In short, SIZE should be the virtual-memory size of the process,
while RSS is its "resident segment size" - what it takes in RAM.
The difference may be in some pages swapped out to disk, as well
as in shared code (library, forked multi-processes), AFAIK.
Note also that Solaris terminology often regards "swap" as the
overall "virtual memory" space, including RAM and disk-backing.
