Since the new VM changes (now in test9), I haven't noticed _any_ swap activity, in spite of the enormous memory pressures. I have lots of processes in the system, like 8 httpd's, 4 getty's, etc. most of which should be "idle" ... Why aren't the pages (eg. mapped stacks) from these processes being swapped out? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rajagopal Ananthanarayanan ("ananth") Member Technical Staff, SGI. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
