Subject: Memory / swap leak?
Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2014 19:43:39 -0500 [thread overview]

Something seems to be eating up all of my swap, but it defies explanation:
root@faldara:~# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3929 2881 1048 146 192 1314
- -/+ buffers/cache: 1374 2555
Swap: 2047 2047 0
root@faldara:~# (for file in /proc/*/status ; do cat $file ; done) |
awk '/VmSwap/{sum += $2}END{ print sum}'
151804
So according to free, my entire 2 gb of swap is used, yet according to
proc, the total swap used by all processes in the system is only 151
mb. How can this be?
