Hello,
I was surprised to see my machine using so much swap when I couldn't find where all the memory was gone, and I checked quickly what slabtop had to say, and found that one :
OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME 10172288 10171996 99% 0.03K 90824 112 363296K size-32
That makes is 10M active "size-32" entries ? but what is that ? What is using the "size-32" ? And it this normal to see that on a laptop with 4G RAM which is only running X, KDE, Compiz+emerald, +/-10 xterms and a firefox which is closed as soon as it is no more used.
Before you ask : [root@tux proc]# zgrep SLAB /proc/config.gz CONFIG_SLAB=y CONFIG_SLABINFO=y # CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is not set [root@tux proc]# uptime 11:34:50 up 6 days, 20:30, 13 users, load average: 1.42, 1.35, 1.23
so that may limit the actions or informations I can collect, but any details you want, please feel free to ask.
Regards, Paul
