Hi all, oh, many thanks for so much quick response and support!!
Yup, i forgot to mention that it is the 32bit-variant of the SLES10 with a quite recent kernel (2.6.26 or so). The /proc/config.gz says that the HIGHMEM64G option is set. The filesystem is ext3 and the swap space is 16GByte on its own partition. Extending the swapspace will be only by adding swapfiles. Does a 64bit OS require more swapspace than a 32bit? Well yes, the MagicSysRq key is a good idea, I'll check that. The vmstat shows us values in the cache column growing up to round 30GB and than *Booom* :-( We will test it tomorrow with the 64bit SLES10. Will have to redo the whole installation but when it helps its ok. Hey, thanks a lot for your help! I'll keep you updated.
