A lightly-tweaked 2.3.17 (devfs+mastodon build patch+silent a.out patch +old-style patch+my latest tweaks to the memory detection code) of mine doesn't seem to like to go to swap when pushed:
the machine has 256m of memory, 128m of swap, and I'm using swapon 2.8a. When loaded down with bonnie -s 1024, physical memory fills up to the brim and the machine starts showing all the traditional out-of-memory behavior (long disk-access lock ups, mysterious freezes while the system searches for a free page, sudden large bursts of kswapd activity) while the 128m of swap remains blissfully recognised but untouched.
It's good to tell me that I possibly didn't break anything with the new memory patch, but I suspect this isn't the ideal behavior.
____ david parsons \bi/ rcp doesn't work, libc5 binaries don't work, dhcp \/ doesn't work, cdrecord doesn't work, and now swap doesn't work. This is probably not my week.
