Does anyone know if when the Swap Device / Page file in unix is carrying out Page / Swap In's and Page / Swap outs, does it go through the Unix Disk Cache ( I am presuming raw partitions are not being used ) ?
Therefore if there is paging activity on a system ( measured by sar -p, sar -g and... (0 Replies)

Hello all,
We are running a 2 gig Solaris10 system. The only application that's running on the system is ours which allocates 850MB through malloc at one shot.
For some reason this malloc keeps failing saying "Resource Temporarily Unavilable"
After some investigation, found that it goes... (7 Replies)
Hello and thanks in advance.
I have a Sun box with raid 1 on the O/S disks using solaris svm.
I want to unmirror my swap partition, and add the slice on the second disk as an additional swap device. This would give me twice as much swap space.
I have been warned not to do this by some... (3 Replies)

Hi all,
Q1) Due to application requirement, i am required to have more swap space.
Currently my swap is on a partition with 32GB.
I have another partition with 100GB, but it already has a UFS filesystem on it.
Can i just swap -d /dev/dsk/current32gb and swap -a /dev/dsk/ufs100gb ?
Will... (17 Replies)

disktab(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual disktab(4)NAME
disktab - Disk description file
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/disklabel.h>
DESCRIPTION
The disktab database describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. It is used to initialize the disk label on the disk.
The format is patterned after the termcap terminal database. Entries in a disktab file consist of a number of : (colon) separated fields.
The first entry for each disk gives the names which are known for the disk, separated by | (vertical bar) characters. The last name given
should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
The following list indicates the normal values stored for each disk entry: Type Description str Type of disk (for example, removable, win-
chester) str Type of controller (for example, SMD, ESDI, floppy) num Number of sectors per track num Number of tracks per cylinder
num Total number of cylinders on the disk num Number of sectors per cylinder, nc*nt default num Number of sectors per unit, sc*nc
default num Sector size in bytes, DEV_BSIZE default bool Controller supports bad144-style bad sector forwarding num Rotation speed,
rpm, default 3600 num Sector skew per track, default 0 num Sector skew per cylinder, default 0 num Headswitch time, usec, default 0
num One-cylinder seek time, usec, default 0 num Sector interleave (n:1), default 1 num Drive-type-dependent parameters num Boot block
size, default BBSIZE num Superblock size, default SBSIZE num Block size for partition `a' (bytes) num Block size for partition `d'
(bytes) num Block size for partition `e' (bytes) num Block size for partition `f' (bytes) num Block size for partition `g' (bytes)
num Block size for partition `h' (bytes) num Fragment size for partition `a' (bytes) num Fragment size for partition `d' (bytes)
num Fragment size for partition `e' (bytes) num Fragment size for partition `f' (bytes) num Fragment size for partition `g' (bytes)
num Fragment size for partition `h' (bytes) num Offset of partition `a' in sectors num Offset of partition `b' in sectors num Offset of
partition `c' in sectors num Offset of partition `d' in sectors num Offset of partition `e' in sectors num Offset of partition `f' in
sectors num Offset of partition `g' in sectors num Offset of partition `h' in sectors num Size of partition `a' in sectors num Size of
partition `b' in sectors num Size of partition `c' in sectors num Size of partition `d' in sectors num Size of partition `e' in sectors
num Size of partition `f' in sectors num Size of partition `g' in sectors num Size of partition `h' in sectors str Partition type of
partition `a' (4.2BSD file system, swap, etc.) str Partition type of partition `b' str Partition type of partition `c' str Parti-
tion type of partition `d' str Partition type of partition `e' str Partition type of partition `f' str Partition type of partition `g'
str Partition type of partition `h'
