Even solaris doesn't overcommit - you think it actually :> reserves data blocks for its file-backed swap? Bzzt! It uses :> an overcommit model too. : :Unlike 4.4BSD derived VM, Solaris VM has a way to reserve backing store. :-- :soda ... and it doesn't mean squat. What, the absolutely critical server that you are trying to run decides to exit because it can't guarentee sufficient backing store? First of all, this situation simply does not occur in a properly configured system. Secondly, for such a server to fail to run is just as bad as if the system were to run out of swap. IRIX has a swap reservation flag too, a left-over from the SysV days. It is a totally useless flag. -Matt Matthew Dillon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
