One more datapoint - system has been up 1 day almost exactly. Sitting idle in KDE session with just Firefox running:
htop gives 621MB used of 2004MB physical Swap sits at 540 / 1027MB used top gives me: top - 19:38:12 up 1 day, 34 min, 1 user, load average: 0.90, 0.50, 0.47 Tasks: 173 total, 2 running, 170 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie Cpu(s): 5.2%us, 3.1%sy, 0.0%ni, 88.8%id, 0.0%wa, 1.5%hi, 1.5%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2052240k total, 1916520k used, 135720k free, 14600k buffers Swap: 1052216k total, 553548k used, 498668k free, 1261628k cached So I have 1261628k cached, but the swap is still slowly being eaten up. When swap hits 1GB, I'll have another episode of disk thrashing and have to reboot. -- High load average, disk read, no apparent reason - 2.6.28-11 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/367377 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
