I'm unsure about how negative priorities work, but yes, the fact that they are different priorities implies that at some point, the first swap space filled up, then the second swap space, and then some was used of the third. If you're not seeing significant paging *rates* then this isn't necessarily a problem. It could just be that some really huge amount of startup code got paged out over time. If you are seeing significant rates, then it's time to bump up the amount of storage assigned to this system. Mark Post
