Hi.
I have noticed that our pyramid will not use all the memory available.
It starts paging then the memory is half full. It does very little
actual swapping.
The configuration is:
Pyramid 9810
OSx 4.0
32MB Main memory
1.5 GB Disc
I would like to make processes use more main memory before start
paging.
I found some parameters, which seems to be of interrest in this
particular case:
lotsfree: amount if memory used before pagedaemon starts
desfree: before start swap
minfree: minimum tolerable amount of memory
maxscanrate: page/second
minslowscan
The three first seems to be the most interresting.
I do not have a complete manual over the systemparameters and
kernel configuration on the Pyramid.
I wonder if these numbers are per process or for the whole system?
Are there any other parameters which might be of interrest?
Are these parameters related to other parameters?
Disclaimer: Even a blind man may know how to C.
