I'm examining system performance on an Ultrix 1.2 system. The output
from 'vmstat' includes 'active virtual pages' (avm) and 'free pages'
(fre). Can someone explain to me how to interpret this information?
I've seen values ranging from 313/5164 (avm/fre) to 5219/2677.
Obviously a higher avm means more memory activity; but, beyond such
obvious interpretations, I don't know what to make of these numbers.
My appreciation in advance....
