Hi Barton, today you have a full 2G of space for dcsses available - even when using lage main memory. You can use dcss swapping with oracle, and all other apps you have in mind. You can mix different swapping devices easily with Linux, you can even priorize using them. When you need 500gig of swap, you can use 2gig dcss high prio, and 498gig on dasds. The VM paging priority issue you describe does not apply to DCSS based swap.
What's your point? with kind regards Carsten Otte -- omnis enim res, quae dando non deficit, dum habetur et non datur, nondum habetur, quomodo habenda est ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
