Hi all,
we have upgraded a bunch of servers from Wheezy to Buster and experiencing a
excessive usage of Swap after the upgrades on all systems.
We have done some testing on this:
Swap usage with stock Buster Linux 4.19: highSwap usage with Buster backports
Linux 5.3: highSwap usage with self
Does anyone know how to tell what program or PID is
causing swap usage? I have a system with 2 GB RAM so it should using little or
no swap, but at times it does and I need to determine what the cause
is.

But that will not tell me what is using swap only what is using a

swap to grow. I already know that it is growing, just don't know what is
causing it.
Uhm, is it growing uncontrolably or just growing a

No I have 100 servers running this program and most
only use about 200 - 300 MB of swap total.

Once memory is moved into swap space, it will stay there until it's
called for. Therefore removing those programs won't necissarily cause
an immediate decline in swap usage. Perhaps most of that swap space

I'm on 2.4.9 for the moment. Swap usage seems relatively normal, but I
haven't had time to investigate the situation thouroughly. (This
kernel seems to have a few other weird things.)

Can someone tell me if this is normal behavior? Note how the amount of

Hi all,
How can I find out which programs are using swap and how much of it?
As an example, I have found that netscape4 will occasionally start using
lots of swap and will not release it until closed, even if it is not
using it anymore(say after loading a large page like Packages.gz or
