[nflug] AMD64 Debian 'Etch' Stability

[Robert Wolfe]

Ok here is my question about this very thing.

We have a few VMWare Server machines (running Debian Etch) with 16GB of RAM.  However, NOTHING is being swapped out to the swap area.  By what you are saying, this is normal, correct?  I know that some concern was expressed recently by the power that is my boss that nothing (or very very little) was being swapped out.

As you would know but mentioning for the sake of others, obviously the
  more ram you have the less likely you will be of reaching the point
  you're forced to start paging stuff out.  So in that sense swap usage is
  related to ram size but that's the only sense they're related at all,
  and how much swap space you have allocated won't play a factor in
  that.
