We have a SPARC system which is running on Solaris-9 and Physical memory size is 16GB.We have allocated 32GB SWAP space(2 times of physical memory).But when we use df -h command it shows following output and SWAP space size shows more than our allocated space
but in partition table and by swap -l command it shows actual allocated size.
What is the reason of showing two different swap size in two different command?
Please give me any reference or solution regarding this.

I just finished installing Solaris 2.6 and several applications just to realize that I made a bonehead mistake during the install. When setting up the filesystems, I entered /tmp and no swap!

Hi Folks,
I am looking for a way to write a script to calculate swap usage in Solaris so that the current usage will be shown in Percentage value. Thanks!!
Based on 'swap -s' command
# swap -s
total: 1378936k bytes allocated + 1236880k reserved = 2615816k used, 2725104k available (2 Replies)
Hi,
i have done a blunder here, i increased the swap space on Xen5.6 server machine using below steps :-
1056 dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/myswapfile bs=1M count=1024
1057 ls -l /root/myswapfile
1058 chmod 600 /root/myswapfile
1059 mkswap /root/myswapfile
1060 swapon /root/myswapfile
