[cobalt-users] Swap priority/usage

["Paul Warner" <pwarner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a 256m Raq4 configured with a 128m swap.  It never shows any usage
in MRTG or any other listing (top, /proc/meminfo, /proc/swaps, etc).  Oddly
enough, as I started poking around, I noticed that the priority is -2.  Is
this 'normal' and would this prevent swap from being used?

[root admin]# cat /proc/meminfo
        total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:

[root admin]# cat /proc/swaps

Swap:  131532K av,       0K used,  131532K free                   86464K

Is it not odd that it is NEVER used?  MRTG has never shown even a small blip
into swap when compiling, backing-up, installing, etc. or when under heavy
load...maybe I'm just looking for a reason to worry <g>.
