SUMMARY: Reserving swap space

[Arunachalam Jayaraman]

Hello  Gurus, 

Thanks  for all who rapidly responded my question.


My Question

 I would like to reserve  some swap space not being mounted under /tmp 
> directory. Users  keep on puting their  files and  datasets and make the 

> /tmp directory full and hence the swap area. 
> 
> So I would like to reserve some swap  space  which is not mounted under 
> /tmp directory. and only  used for  on-line swap space request from the 
> application.  How can I implement this. Please advice me 


The solutions is 


 limit size of /tmp filesystem.E.g. in /etc/vfstab


swap             -               /tmp            tmpfs           -  yes  
size=6144m

Say My swap partitition is 8gb large. So even with full /tmp I have 2gb 
for swaping


Thanks and Regards
