Hello,
I am not sure how the OS is going to detect thrashing. I know that I can detect it by looking at logs, and looking at the size of the swap file, and seeing what is going on in real time. If your logs show that the CPU is waiting, and your I/O systems are busy, you know something is not right.
As for your bitserve question, I no longer have my OS book handy to look that information up. Sorry there.
Christian
that's ok
