I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. I don't have any documentation in
front of me, but if I recall correctly, AIX will continue to use the
unfilled paging spaces in round-robin fashion. If you can point to
something that proves me wrong, I wouldn't be surprised, as this is
coming from memory, and most of the time, we make all of our paging
spaces equal.
