Hi all:
I have the same question that most people must have, why I need to manually erase swap to avoid excesive paging after a couple of uptime days ??.
Once i have most of my RAM ocupied (more than 50% by cache ona a 1GB box) the swaping starts to be a problem, I know the problem is that i like a fancy desktop style, and memory eating programs to read the damn email, but I think there should be a way to decrese the swaping isnt it ??.. after all, most of the ram is in chache !!, is it really that necesary ??
BTW, im starting to have the same "old" pagging problem with 2.4.20-rc2-ac3. after 1 uptime day. and it seems to be getting worst, could it be a hardware problem ??, maybe my ram chips are passing the way ?
If i'm doing something wrong please send me some recomendations. Best regards Max
