| |
I recall reading about this problem in earlier kernels - I was minding my own business, (in X, reading email) when the system started swapping so heavily to the point where the mouse basically stopped moving (well, fifteen to twenty seconds between updates, and not responding to the keyboard when I tried to kill X) - I basically had to hit the reset button to get the system back. This is a 2.1.103 SMP system with 64MB RAM and 32 MB swap (in two 16 MB swap files /swap0 and /swap1). I was running X, Netscape, rc5des, and a few Xterms - not a heavy system load, and never produced any problems with 2.0.33.
