Just because of > cache swap gets full :( "This isn't really a problem" is a good analysis of the situation, since 2.4.14/15 often have data duplicated in both swap and RAM, so being 3MB into swap doesn't mean 3MB of your programs isn't in RAM. If you take a look at /proc/meminfo, you'll find a field called "SwapCached:", which tells you exactly how much of your memory is duplicated in both swap and RAM. regards, Rik -- DMCA, SSSCA, W3C?
