Hi all,
I have 1.5 GB RAM and i want to test by disabling paging completly. If
i tried to without setting any pagefile, after reboot it creates
temporary pagefile.
I tried setting DisablePagingExecutive to 0 and doesnt help much.
When i see thru Taskmanager i see still 1.2 GB ram is not used, so i
like to test by disabling paging completly.
( This is just for testing and making my win2k to use all my physical RAM )
Regards,
Satish K.S
Well since programs are loaded by paging, and most I/O is done through
paging, I don’t think you will like the system you get. Before trying this
for real, you might try a simple emulation: “pull the plug on your computer”

No, I mean you will get the same amount of work out of Windows without
paging as you will without power.

What exactly are you trying to test?
By the way, doesn’t the embedded version of XP actually support a non-paging
configuration?

I don’t think so. Paging is something essential that brings the OS to live.
You can only “kill swapping” the hard way by preventing that there is space
for a swapfile.

I have heard (from someone I trust) that one can get by without a physical
paging file. You should be able to specify that.
On the other hand, you will still have things happening like page-ins from
other files that aren’t the paging file, as Don Burn pointed out.

XP allows it, but I thought that it does not work on W2k on which Satish want
to test.

Interesting. Do you know what happens if somebody tries to use shared memory backed by paging file in this situation? I mean when the first parameter to CreateFileMapping() is 0xffffffff.

If there’s sufficient physical memory to commit to the section based on
the size when it’s created then it will work just fine. If not it
won’t.
With a page file the question is “is there sufficient physical memory +
swap file (+ some fudging I’m sure that exists in both cases)” to commit
to the section.

Thanks, it makes sense. So, if I understand it correctly, all physical memory committed to the section is unavailable for apps and can’t be freed (because of no paging file) until section is destroyed. It seems as a good reason to not disable paging file.

Something like that.
Note that the same condition can occur if you run up against your
maximum paging file sizes.

Although the OP mentions Windows 2K, for what it’s worth I’ve been
running my 1GB RAM XP system without a paging file for nearly a year.
No temporary page file is created. This is my day-to-day system that I
use for everything. Haven’t run into any issues yet.
Chuck
I dont run much applications with this PC, so i want to disable paging and
work. If i run more applications, then i dont mind if OS uses Paging.

non-paging
configuration?
> I don’t think so. Paging is something essential that brings the
OS to live.
You can only “kill swapping” the hard way by preventing that
there is space
for a swapfile.
When we dont set any PageFile, after rebotting OS gives message and uses
temporary pagefile. I have enough HDD space and i cannot prevent it without
having space. Once there is some space, OS will create somehow Temporary
page file.

Cool. If XP allows it, then i guess pulling plug thing will apply only for
win2k as Don Burn say.
