Just looking for something I overlooked. My openSuse v13.1 went into swap space and everything slowed down.
I killed all my user programs and tried to run the "swapoff -a && swapon -a" root command, but the system complains that there is no memory available for the swapoff command. Well okay. I see that /usr/bin/Xorg is chewing up 3+ gigs of memory, I have 12.3 gigs, but 11.6 gigs is being used. The next 2 memory hogs are kded4 and plasma-desktop tasks but only at 167 megs each. I also set the scroll limit to 10K lines for gnome terminal, and restarted every user program, but the system adamantly refuses to reliquish swap space. I did add another swap partition at 12 gigs, and things took off. I checked /var/meminfo and ran free commands, vmstat too, something is using the swap, but not a user program. Everything else looks normal. Any ideas to go from here? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
