Subject: [9fans] Plan 9 on PC - memory and swap
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 1997 15:05:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19970723130521._3mqYL4_y8cr1jgiwmmni2xMjpZICbglQrEdFq9r3VA@z> (raw)

Loading a version of 9pccpudisk, I get the following message:

	2531 free pages, 10124K bytes, swap 55564K, highwater 504K, headroom
628K

a "cat /dev/swap" yields:

	641/2531 memory 0/11360 swap

on an idle CPU/auth server.

I've not bothered with the details before, but now I'm curious.
Evidently, the swap value in the kernel message is displayed
incorrectly, specially in view of the fact that swap has not been
enabled at the time the kernel loads.

Given that the CPU server has 16 meg of RAM, I'd also be curious as to
why only 2531K remains available.  Pointers to reading material are
welcome.
