There's plenty of swap space available. With 16 G of RAM it should not |
| 15 |
be needed, but sometimes my load gets really really high, and when I can |
| 16 |
use the system again, there is 2-3 G of swap usage. I haven't found out |
| 17 |
yet what this is, it seems to happen when emerging things, maybe related |
| 18 |
to having 5 G tmpfs for portage, but when it happened the last time only |
| 19 |
100 M were being used. |
