What you describe in the bug report is exactly the same as what I see on my 10.2 install.... and it's something fairly recent (say in the last 6 to 8 weeks... from something that was changed in an update?). One thing you said is almost a perfect description of my problem: --- "The swapping behaviour is fine for 1-2 days, then all the sudden the VM decides to swap out everything, and keeping lots of memorycompletely unused!" --- I'm getting this behaviour while using normal desktop apps... no cron job doing backups etc. I usually have plenty of memory available... less than half allocated when the system starts swapping madly and slowing down to the point where a reboot is the only way to recover normal behaviour. I will look into free and vmstat tonight. C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
