Re: when is swap allocated
that is perfectly normal, linux is incredibly efficient at using
memory. my main server has been up almost 6 months and is used _a
lot_. and my mem stats:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 127544 119664 7880 100528 6016 34736
-/+ buffers/cache: 78912 48632
Swap: 261496 7604 253892
dont expect mem usage to go too high unless your doing extreme stuff..i
keep a lot of swap for emergencies. incase a process gets outta control i
got plenty of room ..
