page faults with phys. io?

Hi,

remembering a posting from Duane Wessels he mentioned that the ratio
between hitcount and page fault should be very small. ~80k pf's with
350k hits seems a bit high. This machine is running solaris 2.5.1, and
as far as i remember solaris will use the page mechanism to do all
disk writes, correct? So these numbers below aren't really a
indication that our cache get paged out? I'm certain our machine isn't
running low on ram.

Puzzled,

Dirk
