Well using "ps -aux", vmstat, pstat -s, this is the current picture, my math tells me that there is either a memory leak or the kernel is not freeing up SWAP space. A 32 Meg machine with 17.5 Meg of swap space in use...thats 50Meg, ok , where is it? procs memory page disks faults cpu r b w avm fre flt re pi po fr sr s0 s1 c0 in sy cs us sy id 0 0 02654440 5824 2 0 0 0 2 6 0 0 0 234 247 55 2 1 97 Device 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type /dev/sd1s1b 40960 34992 5840 86% Interleaved USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND tjevans 1921 0.0 1.0 456 284 p0 R+ 6:27AM 0:00.00 ps -aux root 1 0.0 0.1 384 12 ??
