Hello. 8-) I'm not in the list, please cc your replies to me. After upgrading to 2.4.4 I started using tmpfs for /tmp and I noticed a strange behavior:
dd if=/dev/zero of=blah bs=1024 count=102400 # increased my used swap space by approx. 100MiB (correct) rm blah # did not decrease it back
Multiple retries showed what looked like a random behavior of the used swap stats. Is this a correct behavior? Should the swap stats be dismissed as 'unreliable'? I expected that when creating a 100MiB file in memory it should increase the swap (or memory) usage by cca 100MiB and that removing a file from tmpfs means freeing the memory. Best regards
