That's Ok, I got a chuckle out of it. You have Duncan who doesn't use |
| 18 |
swap at all (I think), and you have me: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
total used free shared buffers cached |
| 21 |
Mem: 2058448 2041388 17060 0 82084 420860 |

Swap: 17514480 1152972 16361508 |

I guess there is a happy medium. But what else am I going to do with |
| 26 |
that odd space that doesn't fit easily into a RAID-5? I figure that if |
| 27 |
the kernel can find a use for it I might as well let it... :) I |
| 28 |
probably have 50G more of unpartitioned space lying around since I've |
| 29 |
installed my 2 RAID-5s on non-identical drives. I guess I'll just have |
| 30 |
to wait until ZFS takes off on linux... :) |
