Hi!
I'm using an 2.0.36 kernel on a RH5.x distribution.
Now I'm getting the following curious state, without explicable causes (say a big process terminating): [andreas@lifesaver andreas]$ uptime 8:08pm up 18 days, 18:23, 30 users, load average: 0.18, 0.16, 0.10 [andreas@lifesaver andreas]$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 126532 69404 57128 13264 7384 7868 -/+ buffers/cache: 54152 72380 Swap: 128516 49404 79112 [andreas@lifesaver andreas]$ uname -a Linux lifesaver.mtg.co.at 2.0.36 #3 Sun Dec 20 16:06:19 CET 1998 i586 unknown
The box at the same time starts to swap very activly, as far as to freeze my XFree mousepointer for some time.
swapoff/swapon help the situation for some time, but afterwards the same state returns.
