I have a question regarding pstat and the statistics it returns about swap space. We have set aside 64 MBytes for swap and when I run pstat -s, it tells me that about 32 MBytes is "missing." The man page for pstat tells me that the missing category is for swap space reserved for temporary storage of arguments for executing processes. But 32 MBytes? That seems like an awful lot of arguments. I looked at the pstat code to see how the calculation for "missing" was done but this didn't provide me with much info -- there is no explicit counter for missing swap. Anyone enlighten me on this? Thanks in advance. Oh, just in case, we're running Ultrix 3.0. mb
