During Sun Solaris 8 installation, I did allocate 1 G for the swap partition. By doing a "df -k" shows the swap space usage is only 1% even during the application server is heavily processing.
However, when I do a "vmstat", it shows that the swap memory free space is only 8816 out of 1419100.
This makes my other processing hang when my application server is heavily processing.
I wonder what determines the swap memory space and how to increase the free space for it.
Any idea and opinion are most welcome.
Thank you very much.
