Folks,

I am using "nmon64" to monitor the performance of our system

Here's some output:

Memory Use Physical Virtual Paging pages/sec In Out
% Used 100.0% 9.6% to Paging Space 1.4 0.0
% Free 0.0% 90.4% to File System 2447.8 209.4
MB Used 40956.0MB 3979.7MB Page Scans 22439.5
MB Free 4.0MB 37684.3MB Page Cycles 0.0
Total(MB) 40960.0MB 41664.0MB Page Reclaim 0.0

I understand all of the statistics exxcept for "Paging to File System"

Can anyone explain the "Paging to File System" statistic?

Thanks!
