[uml-user] odd swapping issue

[Jason Clark]

I have recently seen an increase in traffic to one of my sites that is 
hosted using UML.  Previously, I had allocated 128Megs of RAM and 1 gig of 
swap to each UML, but I never got close to touching the swap file. It 
always remained at 0% usage.   With the traffic spike, I have noticed
that I will drop all the way down to 200k of free RAM on a guest uml,
but the swapfile is still never touched.
I see it activated at boot,  running `free` shows the swap file as being 
there, but the guest UML just doesn't want to use it.
Can anyone shed some light on what makes my guest machines swap 
shy?  Im running 2.6.10 skas3v7 as the host and 2.6.9bs6 guests.
