To others: There is one reason I can think of for doing this, if an

and absolutely is *not* an indication that anything is wrong or sub-optimal.
Seriously, get over your obsession with keeping swap utterly empty before it
drives you nuts. FreeBSD isn't designed to work that way and

Hi everyone,
I have a FreeBSD 7.0-Release server that started to swap after an error
in a shell script (process spawning competition ;-) ). I killed the
shell and the RAM is now OK. The problem is that the swap is still used.
How can I reset the swap?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge,

Thanks for your answer. I'm asking here because it's been several days
and there is still used swap for data that should never be used anymore.
If the kernel wants to keep it, why not move it to RAM now that there is
some free?

I recently added a new disk to a 4.9 machine. I was having problems running
out of swap space, so I used a couple gigs of this drive as another swap
partition.
It is listed as a swap partition in /etc/fstab.
I couldn't actually find something that would confirm this, so hoping
someone here can.
