Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi,all Yesterday I downloaded 2.4.18pre2 patch and the 2.4.18pre2-aa2 patch. Then did the echo 500 > /proc/sys/vm/vm_mapped_ratio as François recommended.. So far looking good..Not nearly as swap happy now..Here's top output: foo@bar:~$ top -bn 1|head -n 15 13:40:21 up 3:19, 5 users, load average: 0.57, 0.65, 0.70 113 processes: 108 sleeping, 5 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 11.6% user, 15.7% system, 0.0% nice, 72.6% idle Mem: 514148K total, 508664K used, 5484K free, 9140K buffers Swap: 248968K total, 8424K used, 240544K free, 281180K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 2056 ce 17 0 1020 1016 772 R 13.5 0.1 0:00 top 1596 ce 1 0 210M 210M 210M R 12.7 41.9 27:23 vmware 1599 ce 20 -19 99972 97M 99380 S < 0.8 19.3 0:12 vmware 1 root 20 0 524 524 460 S 0.0 0.1 0:04 init 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 keventd 3 root 20 0 0 0 0 SW 0.0 0.0 0:00 kapm-idled Still I'm wondering why 'cached' is soo big.Can I tune it so that it wont swap until cache+buffers are close to 0 ??? But anyway..I can finally use my Windows in Vmware..Great.. best regards Christian
