As a result of using decwindows all of our users need more swap space.

I reconfigured the partitions on ra0 to give 64880 sectors in partition
 g and changed the the config file to say:


config  vmunix  root on ra0a  swap on ra0b and ra0d size 66880    dumps on ra0b

from the previous:

config  vmunix  root on ra0a  swap on ra0b  dumps on ra0b

Now when I do pstat -s I get :

50160k swap configured
        11793k used (3195k text, 54k smem)
        4925k free, 3122k wasted, 33442k missing
avail: 7*512k 2*256k 2*128k 3*64k 1*32k 4*16k 285*1k


Can any one explain the reason for there being 33442k missing?

Thanks


Bruce.
