I have several FreeBSD 9.3 systems that are using swap and I can=E2=80=99t= figure out what is doing it. The key system has 6GB swap and currently = it has over 2GB in use. ps shows only a kernel module [intr] with a W = status. Obviously that isn=E2=80=99t using the space. No other process = shows a W in its status. I suspect this is somewhat related to the use = of mmap in one application. However, all of the mmaps in that = application are file backed and thus shouldn=E2=80=99t use swap. How do = I figure out what that swap space is being used for?
