the box is still running and i just saw another thing

hades:~# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 188724 184076 4648 0 328 33176
-/+ buffers/cache: 150572 38152
Swap: 127476 90528 36948
have a look at the total swap amount, free reports 127476 but the
total should be 143656
the /swap/linux0.swp file being 2mb smaller is no error
it is caused by setting swapfile size in /etc/swapd.conf to 14184,
while only
this file being in use, and restarting swapd with 16184 as new
swapfile size
