I think my swap size is now a bit too much used: last pid: 19824; load averages: 0.06, 0.05, 0.02 up 50+10:00:17 08:54:00 230 processes: 1 running, 227 sleeping, 2 zombie CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 0.8% interrupt, 98.8% idle Mem: 232M Active, 27M Inact, 91M Wired, 212K Cache, 60M Buf, 142M Free Swap: 512M Total, 482M Used, 29M Free, 94% Inuse The swap size usage grow so big probably because I started wget to download an iso image and then WinSCP to grab it from the FBSD machine to my laptop. When I started wget, the swap usage was around 19% and had been like that for many days. Is there any way to handle swap size usage other than restarting the box? Thank you very much in advance! -- Zbigniew Szalbot
