My past installations have used 4 same-sized v-disk areas with ascending priorities. I was under the impression that Linux references an entire v-disk when it goes to swap, so smaller v-disks would be more efficient. But I'm not sure that's completely true. I want to simplify the fstab configuration and reduce the potential memory footprint, so I'm thinking of 1 moderate size v-disk, backed by 1 larger lower-priority DASD. The pair can be sized to whatever the applications require.
Does anyone have a swap setup that optimizes performance and resource usage, i.e., more small v-disks vs fewer big ones, inclusion of real disk, etc.?
