Paging to Swap File

I'm on 9i R2 Patch 7 on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
I have constantly heard & read that allocating to much RAM to the SGA can cause paging to the swap file to disk but I have yet to read or anyone to explain how!
Can anyone please educate me how allocating a large SGA (RAM) could cause severe paging to the swap file to disk?

No I went through oracle documention and metalink support they even suggested me this Initally I was little cautious But things are smooth only drawback of this is you can not increase memory for other component you can just increase for db_block_buffer which is only one of the component SGA. if you want to monitor paging the you can do with Administrative tool .> performance monitor of windows 2003.

Leopard swap file options

hi,
Back in Panther days you could force the swap file location but it got mucked up and frightfully complicated in Tiger. I have ram to spare. Can you force the OS to ether:
A; never use a Swap file(I have 12 gb soon to be 16 GB EEC ram) or;
B; use a ram disk like you can do in Photoshop
C: Send it to a specific partition if it insists on not noticing it never runs out of ram.
That last part has always bugged me. I always ran Tiger on this machine previously and it was annoying seeing all that free ram at thje same time watching the Os merrily paging out chunks of itself.
So, in terms of preference, It would be nice to have a terminal command(bootup script that would forbid the OS from ever paging out anything. I am so far away from saturating the bus it is not even funny. I have watched it Boinc on all 4 processors and still have 4 gb of Ram sitting idle.

It is time for Apple to fix that performance whole. Why sell machines that have max out slots with far more memory then the machine can ever use even at full tilt.
They have made great strides in the memory use department with the Mac Pro.
OS X only uses a set amount of memory, and then goes to virtual memory.
A lot of this is to allow other applications to use/have access to the RAM, rather than having the OS hogging it all.
There is no user control for this, short of hacking the memory allocation process within the BSD.
Just keep plenty of free space on the boot drive for the OS to run properly, and have a second scratch drive for PS and pro apps to use to run properly.

Swap File - Where to find and how to edit?

I have a game with requirements I all meet/exceed, but one is unknown to me. And that is the need for a 1GB swap file. I'm not sure where to check to find it, nor how to edit/make one if it's not big enough.
I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to these sorts of things, so any help would be appreciated.

Unix will "page" before it "swaps". Applications require memory for two reasons: (1) they need to load the application program code (or at least some of it) into memory, and (2) as you do things with the program, it needs some memory space for all the data your program is dealing with which is NOT application program code.
As more memory is needed, the Unix kernel will begin by taking memory listed as being "free" (memory that nothing is using - and btw it's normal for a good Unix operating system to try to keep that number low... you paid for the memory so it might as well do something for you and Mac OS X will try to find a user for it.)
As the "free" / available memory is depleted, the kernel will begin stealing memory from the "inactive" list (memory which was previously used by some other application, but that application doesn't seem to want to use it right now -- usually because it is no longer running. It doesn't immediately return memory to the "free" list because odds are good you may re-run the application and the system will be faster if the code that would otherwise have needed to be read in from disk is already in memory.)
As the "inactive" memory is depleted, it will then begin "paging" applications which are still technically in memory, but seem to be idle right now. It doesn't drop the "data" being managed by those applications... instead it just frees up memory used by that application's code. It does this (as opposed to freeing memory used for data) because the code can easily just be re-read in from the disk drive (no need to 'save' the memory before freeing it because it's already on disk.)
Only when all else fails (no 'free' memory, no 'inactive' memory, and no idle applications that can have their code pages dropped) will the system begin to 'swap' (swapping is the slowest way of creating more virtual memory.)
Unless you have a very small amount of real memory (in which case just upgrade... RAM is cheap!) or have a LOT of other active applications running on your system at the same time which also are demanding a lot of memory (in which case, just 'Quit' the other applications before starting your game), then your performance issue is not likely caused by a lack of memory.

Other notes that might help yuo help me.
Machine is an iMac with 16gig of RAM.
There are two partitions on the drive... one for the OS and one for users.
The OS has an 80gig Partition with 50% free space.
The User partition is much more with about 75% free space.
In the past I have noticed Photoshop to be using over 8gig of RAM so maybe it is photoshop.
Thanks

There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory and virtual memory. That can happen for two reasons:
You have a long-running process with a memory leak (i.e., a bug), or
You don't have enough memory installed for your usage pattern.
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The process named "Safari Web Content" renders web pages for Safari and other applications. It uses a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider it a prime suspect.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details.

Fusion Drive & Swap files

From time to time on my new Mac Mini with 1 TB Fusion Drive, I am getting the following error: "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory."
This would indicate an issue with being able to write swap files/virtual memory. If I understand how the Fusion Drive works, the virtual memory is stored on the 128 GB SSD portion. The SSD is full, considering I have 650 GB free on the 1.128 TB Fusion Drive.
Seems like a CoreStorage issue, as it's apparently not leaving enough space on the SSD for the swap files after the computer has been run for a while. I have 16 GB RAM in the Mini.
Restarting the computer solves the issue, although I often use the Mini in remote sessions and when this error comes up, performance on the Mini tends to be so sluggish that sometimes remote connections time out or drop, making it hard to even be able to restart the computer.

Is it safe to have the swap file on a separate partition?

I've just bought a second hand MBP 2012 (9,2 I think) with a 500GB hard drive and Yosemite pre-installed. Not going to get into a debate about it here, but I want to regress to Lion or Mountain Lion until Apple improves Yosemite's bugs and software manufacturers improve compatibility. However, I wouldn't mind also getting to know Yosemite. So my plan is to partition my drive and keep Yosemite on one partition, have Lion on the other, and use Lion for day to day stuff for the time being.
Obviously this involves a shrinking hard drive. I have an image of Lion's installer on another partition in case I lose the DVD (which happens to me far too often), so at the moment my partition scheme breaks down as 10GB for Mountain Lion's installer, 100GB for Yosemite, and the remaining 390 (roughly) for Mountain Lion.
Since the Yosemite partition is quite small, would it work if I made a symlink from /private/var/vm to the same folder on the Lion partition? Both folders will never be in use at the same time, so I can't think of any reason this wouldn't work - which would mean that the slippage and the swap files would all be located on the bigger partition, and the small size of my Yosemite partition wouldn't be a problem. Obviously when the time comes I would get rid of the Mountain Lion partition altogether and make the Yosemite one a lot bigger, but would that be an ok setup for now? Would it degrade performance for any reason if the swap files were on a separate partition?
Anyone ever tried this?

Thanks for the answer. The project is stored, saved, or burned to a DVD.
When I put the burnt DVD in my "E" drive (or DVD player/burner) installed in my computer it comes up as a my project in "E" drive.
It is a complete Primire Pro CS4 project. I has all my edits and effects just like it does when I open it from my HHD.
I can put the DVD in my wives computer and it shows it is there but it will not open because she does not have CS4 installed.
So it is not a movie. It is an exact copy of what the project looks like on my HHD.
I can edit on it and do everything I did from the HHD copy.
Hope this helps. Please feel free to question my responces.
I really do want to clean up my HHD and start over with a single file. Hopefully gererated by the DVD.
It seems like I could delete my files. It would be like I made this copy and sent it to you to do a final edit and add menus. You would not have the origional files on your HHD.
After you loaded to you could then send it to your HHD and do whatever - Right?

My MacBook (late 2009 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) often runs VERY slow...beach ball of death frequently. My page ins (5.29GB), page outs (5.64BG), and swap files (10GB) seem extremely high in comparison to most other discussions in here. HELP!!??

My MacBook (late 2009 Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) often runs VERY slow...beach ball of death frequently. My page ins (3.29GB), page outs (5.64BG), and swap files (10GB) seem extremely high in comparison to most other discussions in here. I don't know how to copy the pie chart so it shows on here but here's what it says right now:
Free - 176 MB
Wired - 592MB
Active - 843MB
Inactive - 432MB
Used - 1.82 GB
VM size - 198GB
The page ins and page outs have 0 bytes/sec in the parenthesis even though the numbers are so high.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated!!!

You difinately need more ram. 2gb is the bare minimum to run just the Lion OS, anything extra will slow your Mac to a crawl. Upgrade to 8gb from either Crucial http://www.crucial.com/ or OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/
And you will be a happy camper!

Changing swap file location on tray-loader iMacs

This is not a question, but something I discovered that makes my old tray-loader iMac (the oldest iMac models) run Mac OS X much better.
As you may know, these oldest iMacs have an 8GB size limit on the boot volume. The largest stock drive on these iMacs was 6GB. That means if your upgraded hard drive is larger than 8GB, it must be partition so that the first partition is under 8GB (7.78GB on my iMac), and it must be the boot partition where the OS is installed (whether it's Mac OS X or 9).
In my case, I have a roomy 120GB hard drive (I believe the useable limit on these iMacs is 128GB). The first partition is just under 8GB, the second partition is the rest of the space, about 104GB. I have used every trick out there to move files (such as the iTunes music folder and most of my user/documents files) off to the second partition, to make free space on the boot partition as large as possible. So I have 3.5GB free on my 8GB boot partition. This is about 40% of the volume's total space so it seems pretty good, until you realize that most recent Macs have much more than the TOTAL 8GB I have, as free space on the boot volume. Mac OS X was just not designed to work well with small boot volumes...
Mac OS X uses the free space on the boot volume for its virtual memory "swap file." Considering these old iMacs max out at 512MB of RAM, virtual memory is being used quite a bit. But since space on the boot volume is very limited, low RAM and lack of free space can lead to performance issues. Here's what I observed. When I initially started up my iMac, I had about 3.5GB of free space. Over time, as I used more and more apps, that free space would diminish until I had only about 600MB remaining (as reported by a Finder window). At the same time, I noticed performance getting bogged down and more "chugging" sounds coming from the hard-working hard drive.
I've known about changing location of the swap file, but never tried it until recently. During the Mac OS X boot process, the Mac sets the location of the swap file. By default, the swap file resides on the boot volume (I believe most other Unix-based systems use a dedicated "swap partition" for the swap file). Since most recent Macs have large drives set up as one partition (and there is plenty of free space), and since many users have upgraded their RAM (and virtual memory is not as critical), swap file location is usually not an issue, and there is certainly no need to change the swap file location. However, on my iMac with an 8GB limit on the boot volume and 512MB of RAM, it made a noticeable difference.
I found one set of procedures on the web that was much better than the others I found for changing the location of the swap file.
http://www.math.columbia.edu/~bayer/OSX/swapfile/
On this page, there are two choices for Panther users. I used the one that works for both Panther and Tiger, because it appeared to me to be more straightforward. The author intentionally keeps the instructions somewhat technical to discourage users who are not technically inclined. I don't consider myself to be too "geeky," but I can follow instructions and type a few commands in Terminal.
After I changed the swap file location to a large mostly empty volume, I noticed much better performance when I have many large apps open at the same time. Performance no longer degrades over time, and the free space on my boot volume remains a constant 3.6GB.
The reason for this post is to share this information. Some users of these old iMacs may be noticing the same issues I had. This is a possible solution. However, if everything is OK with your set up, there is no reason to change the swap file location. If you try it, be sure to take the usual data backup precautions.
If anyone else has experience with changing swap file location, please post your comments here.

Problem with swap files after reboot.

Hello
I have installed Solaris 10 10/09 s10x_u8wos_08a on a Sun Fire X4140.
The file system is UFS.
I wish to add more swap space
I have created these two files under /export/home:
-rw------T 1 root root 5368709120 Jun 16 10:12 newswap
-rw------T 1 root root 2147483648 Jun 16 10:38 newswap2
When I enter swap -a /export/home/newswap, the command succeeds and I can see the additional swapspace with swap -l.
I have the following configuration in /etc/vfstab
# cat /etc/vfstab
#device device mount FS fsck mount mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at boot options
fd - /dev/fd fd - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -
/dev/dsk/c1t5d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c1t5d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c1t5d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
/dev/dsk/c1t5d0s7 /dev/rdsk/c1t5d0s7 /export/home ufs 2 yes -
/export/home/newswap - - swap - no -
/export/home/newswap2 - - swap - no -
/devices - /devices devfs - no -
sharefs - /etc/dfs/sharetab sharefs - no -
ctfs - /system/contract ctfs - no -
objfs - /system/object objfs - no -
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
Although it is supposed to work, after reboot, the only mounted swap file is /dev/dsk/c1t5d0s1.
The two file under /export/home aren't mounted as swap. Why?
Can anybody give me some help on this issue?
Thanks

Actually you don't have to create a dedicated slice/filesystem for swap.
You can create files and then use them as swap.
Here is the link from the documentation of Solaris
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5093/fsswap-59089?a=view
My issue is that although I have configured /etc/vfstab according to the documentation, the swap files aren't automatically mounted on boot. I can only mount them as swap manually with swap -a.
Can anybody help?

Limiting Swap File Usage

i have an issue with my main drive, and whilst i am getting this sorted, in the meantime i have installed a new installation of mavericks onto a 16gb flash drive.
now a usual fresh install of mavericks takes about 5.8gb and this should leave me a few gb to work with, but alas, the swap file has kicked in and filled all the free space leaving me 688mb on the flash drive. this is fine for using safari, but hopeless on trying to update flash.
how can i manually set a limit to the swap file?
this is a temporary solution until the main drive is fixed, so I'm not stressed about longevity of the problem.

The first thing that happens on a new system has nothing to do with the swap file. It's the creation of the hibernation image file that is roughly equal to the amount of RAM in your computer. I'd guess yours is around 8 GBs.
It's a terrible idea to try and run the computer from a flash drive. That may be useful for creating an installer disk or an emergency recovery disk that you use once in a while.
Your only temporary solution is to change the hibernation mode and erase the hibernation sleep image file.
Open the Terminal and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
Press RETURN.
rm -rf /var/vm/*
Press RETURN.
After the first command you will be prompted to enter your admin password which is not echoed to the screen - type carefully.

Swap file usage

Hi
We have recently updated a MII Server from Netweaver CE 7.1 SP4 with MII 12.1.5 (Build 86) to Netweaver CE 7.1 SP5 with MII 12.1.9 (Build 109). The MII server is running on a Windows Server 2003 64-bit with 8GB of RAM.
After the update the swap file usage has increased from an average of 5-10% usage to now close to 80% usage. The only thing changed is the Netweaver and MII version, please advice how to proceed?
Best Regards

SL Startup Disk filling up with Swap Files

I installed SL on an erased USB drive to see if all my applications are supported before installing on the internal start up disk. It ran fine, but after a few hours, SL had created about 40 swap files, filling up the drive. During the time I was testing SL, I launched each of my applications and updated those that needed it, but can't think of anything unusual -- no forced shut downs, quits, etc.
Anyone seen this or have any ideas on what's going on?

Hi again,
Yes, zillions of these files, I think they're accumulate every 3 seconds on my computer...
I have no idea which way to go...all of my data is backed up, so I'm not so worried about losing data...whichever way you think is best!

Not memory consumed, no swap file usage

We have a 4 processor Windows 2000 server with 4 gig of Ram.While running a data load and calc process against one database in Essbase that pegs the cpu at 2 gig, the Essbase server info window shows no memory being used and no swap file space being used....Why? Is this a bug in Essbase, do other people note the same problem?Thanks for any insight you can provide,GeorgePS - We're on Essbase 6.1 patch 3a.

Essbase has configurable parameters that control RAM usage - specifically:The Index CacheThe Data CacheThe Data File CacheThe Calc CacheThese settings will have an effect on what memory Essbase uses during a calc. They can be found in Database / Settings using Application Manager.Regards,Jade===============================Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

Swap file creation

Hi all ,
i am getting the following error when trying to add a swap file created in solaris 8 branded zone
bash-2.03# mv swapf test
bash-2.03# ls -l
total 1
-rw------- 1 root other 104857600 Apr 16 11:16 test
bash-2.03# swap -a /oradata/test
"/oradata/test" is not valid for swapping.
It must be a block device or a regular file with the
"save user text on execution" bit set.
bash-2.03#
Any idea why is this not possible this way?

Ok, then you just need to turn on the sticky bit. Add a leading '1' to the normal numeric attributes like so:
# chmod 1600 test
You should then be able to add the file as a swap file.

Swap file keeps increasing until out of space

Hello, I have a serious problem with my swap file on my 10.6 server. My server is creating swap files that are 1.06 GB each! and it will keep creating these files until it uses all available disc space which is around 40GB. At that moment, the server will basically crash. Has anyone seen this before? I have 2GB memory, could they be bad?
thanks!

I have the same problem. I hav 62 swap files weighing in at 1.07GB EACH!! When i run multiple applications it says its running out of memory even though theres 100GB left on my hard drive. Im running 10.6.8. I did a reboot about a week ago and it deleted all the swap files but one, which is great, but now they've gradually built back up again and i dont kno what to do. i dont want to have to reboot every few days to be able to use my computer. any suggestions?
As mentioned, what cured it for me was installing the 10.6.8 version 1.1 combo update. Even if you have already previously upgraded to 10.6.8 nothing prevents you re-running this combo update. You can download it from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1402
It is normal for VM usage to grow over time especially if the computer is running a number of apps, but my previous problem was using up space far faster than normal and is now back to normal after running the combo update.
