Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that in Darwin 7.x dynamic_pager will create brand new swap files of increasingly larger sizes as swap demand increases. When it does create a larger file, does it transfer the swapped pages to the new file, or does it keep all files it has created in use?
Also, is there any function that will return, or a kernel symbol you can lookup, to determine exactly how many pages have been swapped to disk. The pstat command is supposed to have a -s option to list this data, but it is currently non-functional.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian T. O'Neill
