Just for clarification, do you actually see swapping when starting a new process or you just guess linux would swap because you don't see "free" memory in top output?

Subject: RE: memory usage by dbw very high

rich
the ipcs output shows 1.1 gb. so nearly 2 gb(total ram size is 3.08) is used by non shared memory size.
i went thru all the processes and found dbwr using the max %mem. what could be the reason?

If I'm not mistaken, this figure includes the size of the shared memory

(hopefully you'll only have one!) and subtract it from the process size to
get a better idea of the non-shared memory size of the process.

hi

i have a system that has no active users at this point of time. the memory
used by the dbw process is very high leading to a lot of swapping when any
process starts.
here are the spces
