Subject:   Is swap space ever reclaimed?
Message-ID:  <200003230006.QAA90221@monk.via.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help

I wrote a quick program to allocate a bunch of memory (and write to every page)
and then the process exits.

pstat shows the swap space growing, but after the test program terminates,
pstat still shows the swap space as allocated.

Will freebsd ever reclaim unused, previously allocated swap space?

Thanks,

Joe
