Be careful you've not done the wrong thing with your vm swappiness setting, its hard to set right, and the default 50% setting is usually sane. At 0% swappiness, it will still swap, it will just wait for you to run out of memory first, stomping all over disk cache in the process, reducing file performance, and not swapping proactively in the background, so when your run out of memory its suddenly like SWAP EVERYTHING NOW, MAN THE LIFEBOATS =p -- Kent perl -e "print substr( \"edrgmaM SPA NOcomil.ic\\@tfrken\", \$_ * 3, 3 ) for ( 9,8,0,7,1,6,5,4,3,2 );" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
