[OpenIndiana-discuss] physmem option broken

This is not a bug in kernel - it's merely a bug in top, or so it seems. Trying to allocate > physmem after disabling swap, shows physmem does indeed work.

Vennlige hilsener / Best regards

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og relevante synonymer på norsk.
