Hello, We have a V880 with 64GB of Memory and a 40GB swap device confgiured, running Solaris 10 and Oracle.
A few days ago, one of our admins noticed a filesystem full error for /tmp and that new processes were failing to start up. /var/adm/messages:Jun 11 02:16:52 xxxxxx tmpfs: [ID 518458 kern.warning] WARNING: /tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded They ran both 'swap -l' and 'swap -s' and saw that while 'swap -l' was reporting all of the 40GB swap disk device as being unused and available, 'swap -s' was reporting only 4GB of available swap. I thought 'swap -s' reports all available swap including RAM [i]AND[/i] swap disk. The system has since recovered and is working fine, but unfortunately I only have a description of the symptoms and no detailed logs, command output captures or debug information to investigate this further. Has anyone else seen 'swap -l' reporting all of the swap disk as unused and available, while 'swap -s' lists only a very small amount of swap being available - Why is there a discrepancy between the output of the two commands. Is there a way to correlate the outputs of 'swap -l' and 'swap -s' ?
