Only if some process actually needs to have the swapped memory paged back in. It is inefficient to page the data back in just to page it back in.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Joe Giles Sent: Wednesday, August 21, 2002 11:16 AM To: Red Hat List Subject: Quick Swap Question List, I have a question about swap file usage. I noticed that when my swap file is being used, the system is not freeing up the swap memory when the physical memory goes down. So, in other words, I have a 1024 meg swap. Ive used 127 megs of this during some processing. When my physical memory drops to lower than what needs to be swapped, then 127 megs of swap memory stays up. Shouldn't it drop?
