Hello Admins,
I just have a problem understanding something.
The system is ES40 4 CPU's 4G memory running Tru64 Unix V 5.1 patchkit 5
My question is:
I am loosing swao space, it has been 2 days now, the swap space is
around 14%, and when it goes below 10%, all kinds of problems appear.
Can someone tell me why doea the kernel idle process consumes 5.72G of
Virtual memory size??, is this amount reserved?
The swapon -s output is:
# swapon -s
Swap partition /dev/disk/dsk0b (default swap):
Allocated space: 665742 pages (5.08GB)
In-use space: 1 pages ( 0%)
Free space: 665741 pages ( 99%)
Total swap allocation:
Allocated space: 665742 pages (5.08GB)
Reserved space: 588044 pages ( 88%)
In-use space: 1 pages ( 0%)
Available space: 77698 pages ( 11%)
The out put of the command "ps aux" is below
