I would like to know what those Interactive users with TCP/IP and NFS are using for their swap partitions. What happens when an Interactive Unix system does not have enough swap space? Will there be PANICS? Will processes mysteriously die? We are running Oracle and each of the four Oracle processes are taking turns issuing the message "process terminated with error". We are using Interactive UNIX 2.2, running TCP/IP, NFS, ORACLE, a 386 machine at 33MHz and 12MB of RAM. The system was configured with only 11.68MB of swap. I would recommend 20MB of swap for this system. I would like to know what other people are using for their swap partition and what their configuration is. Has anyone else had this problem with Oracle processes? Am I wrong to say that this is a swap problem? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Phill St. Louis University of British Columbia
