This might appear quite dumb, but I'm not able to get my box to utilize the swap space. The /etc/rc does do a 'swapon -a' (and subsequent swapon -a return 1 instead of 0) and so it probably has been able to do swapon correctly. But swapinfo and pstat -s always report the swap usage to be zero. mercury# swapinfo Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/ad0s1b 266992 0 266992 0% Interleaved This is regardless of the number of applications open. At the time of writing this mail, I have a couple of aterm windows, a netscape, mutt, xscreensaver, a couple of ssh, ssh-agent, zsh, running. Yeah, this isn't exactly a huge load, but I expect a small percentage of swapspace being used which it isn't using. Any pointers to what can be the problem? chyrag. -- Chirag Kantharia http://slashetc.net/chyrag/ GCS/IT d- s-:->: a?
