At the moment, I'm not seeing any trouble, but last night there was this short period when the server started swapping and performance was terrible. It would take ages to even serve a static webpage. I sorted the entries in `top` by memory and on top was mysqld (125 MB VIRT, 17 MB RES) followed by a few 4 MB apache processes. Even adding up the VIRT table (the highest values) comes to a number about a fourth of the RAM use reported by `free -m`. -- Roshan George _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
