Is there a way of checking how much swap space your RT has without going into minidisks? Since you have to be root to run minidisks is there a way for a regular user to check how much paging space he has? I know this can be done on SUNs, HPs and other machines but I have not been able to find an equivalent command on my RT. Galia -- Galia Tylman Internet: tylman@csli.stanford.edu

You can get the current number of free paging disk slots from the VM low mem.
One slot is 2K. Just try:
volatile int *freeSlots = (int *)0xb8;
printf("currently %d page slots free\n",*freeSlots);
