| |
After playing around with heavy memory consuming progs like using xv in directories with +5-8000 files => 100-200M-Swap full in use, i have the impression that after terminating the progs, there is only swap-mem available instead of RAM. The progs don`t have mem-leaks and it seems that kernel preferes to use swap-mem. As result after 10-14 days uptime, machine get's so slow (everytime hdd-swapping for whatever command ) while nothing else except std-daemons up and swap-mem +-zero, It looks like shared/buffers/cached-mem is blocked. so that only a reboot helps...
Machine has 2.2.1/K6-366/32M/libc5
