So you are saying that the entirety of swap at highest priority was filled
and you ran out of swap or what, exactly?

In SLES7, its a bug because it will not go to lower
priority swap (I found out the hard way). I have not
tested this in SLES8 or RHEL3.
As to different priorities on swap, that doesn't seem
to make much practical sense. It would tend to force
all your paging to a single device. To get better
performance, I've found that with equal priorities,
the I/O gets balanced across the multiple swaps.
