[uml-user] odd swapping issue

2005-02-25 Thread Jason Clark
I have recently seen an increase in traffic to one of my sites that is hosted using UML. Previously, I had allocated 128Megs of RAM and 1 gig of swap to each UML, but I never got close to touching the swap file. It always remained at 0% usage. With the traffic spike, I have noticed that I wil
