I agree. If swappiness is set to 0, it should not use swap unless it is |
| 13 |
to prevent the system from crashing. I set mine to 30 and I have 2Gbs |
| 14 |
of ram. The only time it uses any swap at all is when I am compiling |
| 15 |
OOo or maybe, just maybe, gcc. Other than that, it is using pretty much |
| 16 |
all the ram because I have a couple hundred picture files open or |
| 17 |
something. It is rare that I use swap even with it set to 30. I can't |
| 18 |
see much of any reason it should when set at 0 except to prevent crashing. |

There seems to be something fishy on the OP's system. I'm not sure what |
| 21 |
but it is not working as it should. I use gentoo-sources here. 2.6.35 |
| 22 |
at the moment. |
