Hi,
I took 64MB out of my 128MB system at home today just to see how 2.4.9-ac18
would work on it, and did some tests...
I ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade, and after that finished, swapoff -a.
While looking at vmstat, the swap went down from 24000 to 16000 and slowed
considerably (sorry didn't save the vmstat output) with the page cache
getting smaller and smaller, while disk reads were constantly at about 2000.
After a while it got past 16000 swap, and down to zero and swapoff exited.
After this happened, I saw MemShared go up to about 4GB, and Cached started
growing, getting even bigger than ram!
I was able to save some "vmstat 1"(attached) output from this time period until
shutdown...
A snapshot of meminfo after swapoff:
