hp swap issue

[nyck]

Hello,

i have created a 16GB swap partition (file system swap) and when i run a swapinfo -m i get the following output:-

Mb Mb Mb PCT START/ Mb
TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED LIMIT RESERVE PRI NAME
dev 2048 0 2048 0% 0 - 1 /dev/vg00/lvol2
localfs 3712 0 3712 0% 3712 0 1 /proj/paging
reserve - 2074 -2074
memory 5174 1927 3247 37%

as you can see /proj/paging is coming up as 3712MB!

but if you do a du -sk /proj/paging you get this output:-

16384176 paging

as you can see this is 16GB

is there anything daft i have done here?

cheers

nick

Food for thought... Check on how you allocated the filesystem paging space:

For file system paging areas, LIMIT is the maximum number
of 1-Kbyte blocks that will be used for paging, the same
as the limit value given to swapon. A file system LIMIT
value of none means there is no fixed limit; all space is
available except that used for files, less the blocks
represented by minfree (see fs(4)) plus RESERVE.

Your limit is set to 3712
