Memory management / Swap file issue

don't really know what to make of this.
The Swap File is taking all resources.
I have never seen this sort of behavior before.

Curious - could bit torrent cause this?

  • Determine what is using the swap, restart the process or open a support case.   Alternatively reboot (yuck).

    My usual swap offenders:   snort (/var/mdw/scripts/snort restart), httpproxy (/var/mdw/scripts/httpproxy restart) and webmin (/etc/initd/httpd restart).

    For swap usage I use a modified version of the script at Find out what is using your swap | All things Sysadmin


    all of these are workarounds..[:)]  even with the memory leaks fixed i don't think 2 gigs is a realistic minimum if you have more than two features active and more than 5-10 users.  We'll see with upcoming versions.
