Hello,
I have two swap areas ("man swapon") of equal size on the same disk:
$ cat /proc/swaps
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol01 partition 3145720 3047372 -1 = "higher"
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 partition 3145720 122880 -2 = "lower"
Linux (RHES 2.6.9-11.ELsmp) likes to fill up the high-priority swap
area but holds back on filling up the second swap area, actually
it looks like it positively tries to keep it empty!
Here's a little graph, showing that swap usage is flat and
suspiciously close to the size of one swap area:

I expected Linux to fill the first swap area and use the second one
if so needed.
Any pointers or comments?
Best
