Hmm that was quite interesting. I discovered a couple leftovers
hanging around from a failed experiment with Joost. Cleaned them out.
Swap use dropped a little... but it almost immediately went to the
max available swap
swapon -s
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/hda2 partition 4192956 4192956 -1
These are the top swap using processes now:
145m mythbackend
142m ekiga
121m mysqld-max
116m firefox-bin
110m nscd
85m amarokapp
77m mythfrontend
55m pidgin
53m kmail
53m httpd2-prefork
Nothing too extreme... there is more of course, but nothing that adds
up to anything near the total physical RAM I have let alone the swap.
I can't do a swapoff either.
swapoff /dev/hda2
swapoff: /dev/hda2: Cannot allocate memory
which I assume is because swap used is greater than available RAM, and
the swapoff attempts to move whatever is on disk back to RAM?
I think you have a process somewhere with a memory hole: allocating memory
and forgetting to free it later. I don't know if it is possible for the
process to die without freeing the memory :-?
