Hi,
Where is this paper? Seems to me that the word "large", should have been "small", but I am willing to learn different.

Regards

Pete

Subject: OT: question about sizing swap for solaris

Hi,

I am reading sun performance paper: Performance Oriented System Administration and see the following setense: "However, sizing swap to be too large can cause hard-pageout to occur too easily"

I do not understand what on earth this mean, can some one kindly explain this? And why it will make hard-pageout occur?Is there documents talking about this feature?
Thanks.
Zhu Chao.
