This morning it was :up to 8xxK, and right now it is 928K. I expect it to be over 1Mb in :the morning. : :This is on a machine with 256Mb RAM and 256Mb swap. It shouldn't ever :even need to touch swap, and with an Oct 23 kernel, never did. A Dec :18 kernel (ELF or AOUT) seems to keep growing. The machine isn't doing :anything different nightly that it wasn't doing before, namely nightly :"make -j8 buildworld". : :Any thoughts on where to start looking in the code for this? At least :I know the timeframe in which to look (Oct23-Dec18), unless someone can :narrow it further. Thanks! : : : -- Parag I don't think you have to worry about this, it's probably just the system swapping out totally idle data. You can investigate it a bit if you want if you are have /proc mounted: foreach i ( /proc/* ) if ( -f $i/map ) then cat $i/status | awk '{ print $1 "\t" $2; }' fgrep swap $i/map endif end -Matt Matthew Dillon Engineering, HiWay Technologies, Inc. & BEST Internet Communications & God knows what else.
