begin Paul Sargent quotation: > > holly:~/linux-2.4.14# free -tm Try a newer kernel. They've been farking around with the VM lately. In particular, look at the changelog for 2.4.17: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ChangeLog-2.4.17 Especially this line: - Make kernel try a bit harder to shrink caches instead swapping out I'd go ahead and take the plunge into 2.4.18, while you're trying new things anyway. Not saying this WILL fix your problem, but if there are known VM bugs, and you're having a VM problem, it seems like a good thing to try. Especially since you can always boot back into your old kernel. -- Shawn McMahon | McMahon's Laws of Linux support: http://www.eiv.com | 1) There's more than one way to do it AIM: spmcmahonfedex, smcmahoneiv | 2) Somebody thinks your way is wrong
