I asked earlier on this list about why memory is sucked up into buffers. I
appreciate the answers and thank everyone who responded. Now I have a new
question: why won't the kernel release the swap space that it apparently
needed sometime earlier? The kernel is 2.0.30
Here's a snapshot of /proc/meminfo. Please note that it has 29 megs of
physical memory available, but still insist on using swap space.
total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 97660928 68157440 29503488 11612160 48906240 5804032
Swap: 33026048 319488 32706560

Buffers: 47760 kB
Cached: 5668 kB
