| |
This may be a bit of a newbie'ish question, and maybe a bit off-topic, but is there any way for me to remove inactive memory, either explicitly or implicitly? I have 512MB of PC2700 SDRAM, but my system is constantly eating into the swap I have on my system since I have usually about 140-300MB of inactive (and dirty) RAM and usually about only 250MB in active memory. Is there a way for me to correct this bad memory usage without having to reboot? If patching the kernel would be a possible route to venture to, I'm game.
Any suggestions or comments are welcome.
Thank you all! David
