[Mailinglist] swap not being used.

[Nishan Nazeer]

hi,
i had experienced this before and mailed to this mailing list regarding
this..
i also mailed quite number o fother mailing list.. but dint get any
responses.
is there any priority  based on which kernel decides to swap mem pages to
disk?
if yes, kernel might be givin swap too low priority to keep it unocuupied..
