The Default Pager

The default pager is one of external pager. It swaps the memory in and out of file system.

When it is loaded into the memory, it interposes itself onto DefaultPager.Create and DefaultPager.SwapOn events.

The default pager is controlled through the shell command vm. Below is the typical command sequence to enable the default pager.

# mount the efs on /efs
mount rz3b efs /efs
# clear the contents
efs nuke /efs
# create a swap file.
efs create /efs swap 10000
# enable the pager.
vm swapon /efs/swap

To test the default pager, you may want to tweak the vm parameters. See the spincore vm system for how to get and set the vm parameters. There is no swapoff command now.
