Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
over the last week or so I've noticed unusually large swap usage. I |
4 |
usually hibernate this laptop and have uptimes up to 12 days so apps can |
5 |
run for a long time. I don't usually use any swap space (except for a |
6 |
few k). |
7 |
|
8 |
If I swapoff and swapon, the usage falls back to zero but then creeps up |
9 |
again over a few days. |

|
11 |
$ free -m |
12 |
total used free shared buffers cached |
13 |
Mem: 3040 859 2181 0 38 415 |
14 |
-/+ buffers/cache: 406 2634 |
15 |
Swap: 494 431 62 |
16 |
|
17 |
nothing unusual there, except for the swap usage itself. 'top' doesn't |
18 |
show any large apps. sorted by mem the top 4 are: |

Hm, I just noticed Mem is in %. % of what? % total or % used? Even if |
26 |
it was % of total RAM that could be as much as 152Mb for evo and 76Mb |
27 |
for firefox. Not that much really. |
28 |
|
29 |
any ideas? |
