[Bug 133853] Re: Automatically reclaim swapped pages when there is free memory
There is no way for the kernel to predict what pages you will and won't need in the future, and it is not desirable to simply pull pages in from swap just because there is room for them, as those pages very well may never be referenced again so the ram would be better used by for example, the page cache. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133853 Title: Automatically reclaim swapped pages when there is free memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/133853/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I seem to have a small amount of data residing in swap for no apparent reason, usually only >5Mb even though ram is less than 50%.

Yup, still an issue. Doing "sudo swapoff -a && sudo swapon -a" really makes things feel more "peppy" and responsive, but I wouldn't expect a newbie to do this. This really is something that should be going on in the background (perhaps a small service?). -- Automatically reclaim swapped pages when there is free memory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133853 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you?
