Until today, I thought that the swap partition was used *only* when the
system ran out of "real" memory and started to swap proceses or data
from ram to disk and back.
However, I've been monitoring memory usage with gkrellm and have noticed
that even when there is still about 200Mb of free ram, the system has
used 20 Mb of swap space.
Is there any tool that can tell me the maximum amount of memory the
system has used at any time? Is it possible that Linux uses swap space
when there is plenty of free ram?
