Hi kerneldevelopers,
I hope this is the right place to ask , since i think this could be a bug. I just tried to set up a complete linux which boots from cd , and has its root mounted as 32Meg Ramdisk Ext2 Partition. I use initrd to load the compressed 32Meg Image and some scripts to copy over the Programs from cd. I use 2.1.102 and the egcs-compiler. The System just works fine, but kswapd always takes a load from 80% at ps -auxw , and my uptime is always around 1.0 ... as i looked in /proc/meminfo i saw that the values changed all the time . Is it possible, that the kernel always swaps pages ? , or it needs a swap partition (which i dont think).. btw. the system has 64Meg ram and /proc/meminfo reports ~20meg free memory which changes a little every time - i dont know how to track this down
If you reply to me , please to this directly , i am not on the list
if you need more information , ask :) thanks
Chris
