virtual storage

[Jose_11]

I have 160m real memory in my computer.

swapinfo -t
Kb Kb Kb PCT
TYPE AVAIL USED FREE USED
dev 327680 13196 314484 4% ...
reserve - 135280 -135280
memory 118608 26752 91856 23%
total 446288 175228 271060 39% ...

From "top" tool I get :
Memory: 67256K (28492K) real, 73608K (44276K) virtual, 15636K free Page# 1/5

My question is:
What is the correlation between top results,
swapinfo and real memory.
How can I increase the size of virtual memory
(73608K shown from top output above)

Hi,
top shows present usage
the memory outside the brackets are the real and withing brackets are the active(in bytes)
swapinfo gives u the information about the swap(virtual memory)total available,free and used swap and in which 'lvol' the swap is.
increasing the virtual memory mean increasing the swap , make the entry in /etc/fstab for swap and enable it(#swapon -a).

later
