We are working with SuSe 7.0 on a LPAR.
It has 6 dasds of 2GB each. 128MB memory.
Apart from the essential processes, we are running Apache, DB2Connect and
RMF/PM.
I use windowmaker on with 2 xterms and xosview.
The memory usage is pegged around 105MB most of the time.
The catch is we have one full dasd of 2GB defined as swap in /etc/fstab.
But we do not see it being used. I did read that the swap limit of 128MB
has been changed/increased/removed since 2.2 and up.
Following is the output from 'free' command:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 127316 113920 13396 149120 22688 32180
-/+ buffers/cache: 59052 68264
Swap: 2097136 232 2096904
I read the efficient way to use swap is to have several of those on
different drives,
instead of one big chunk.
What else is missing in this scenario?
Thanks in Advance,
Samy Rengasamy.
