Greetings, The man file seems to be lacking in an example. I have two SUSE 9.1 Pro boxes. One is a rocket the other is a snail. I checked the swap priority and the rocket is -1 the snail is 42. Anyone know what ranges can be used? I believe this to be my problem but am uncertain of what I can set it to.

Ah hah! I got around minute-long freezes by commenting out all swap. (1 gig of ram and 2 of swap) Running Suse:System:More Programs:System Monitor the swap bar would kick, cpu usage shoot to 100% and everything would stop for a while. See how it goes re-enabled with pri=-1 in /etc/fstab michaelj -- Michael James michael.james@csiro.au System Administrator voice: 02 6246 5040 CSIRO Bioinformatics Facility fax: 02 6246 5166

Swap priorities are unlikely to account for a large disparity in system performance.

Check out KSysGuard to get more details about system activity and performance factors, if necessary.

See "man 2 swapon" for an explanation of swap priorities.
