- Ummm, I wrote in a recent post:
- * P.S. Anybody out there using file system swap on their HP700's w/HP-UX8.07?
- * Even with the "VM patch" installed (PHKL_1065), there still seems to be
- * some strangeness. I've enabled this on a few machines as a "safety net,"
- * VUE (and our product) can be memory pigs at times. However, sometimes
- * it seems that we encounter about 5 minutes of pure swapping, load factor
- * of 20+, and a hyper-active disk (lots of squirrels in there eating nuts! :-)
- * Things then seem to return to normal ?!?
-
- I wonder if you're seeing something similar? HP doesn't handle running out
- of swap swap very well ... but then again, I don't know what system does! ;-)
