This is a cryptographically signed message in MIME format. --------------ms070507020005030700020309 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi list, I have been running 5.2.1 on a Celeron with 512MB RAM for nearly two months straight, but have been experiencing heavy swapping these past few days. In a last-ditch attempt, I stopped all the services hoping to reclaim the memory somehow. The output from top (after stopping services) reads: Mem: 12M Active, 10M Inact, 451M Wired, 1364K Cache, 59M Buf, 11M Free Swap: 1024M Total, 15M Used, 1009M Free, 1% Inuse, 12K In I noticed that the amount of 'wired' memory before and after stopping the services remains the same, at > 400MB. The swap usage went down from ~200MB to 15MB however. Is it normal to have so much RAM 'wired'? (I don't really understand 'wired' as described in the handbook) -- Regards, wK (www.doubleukay.com) --------------ms070507020005030700020309 Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" Content-Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature MIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAqCAMIACAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAQAAoIIIMzCC AnQwggHdoAMCAQICAwvvfjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQQFADBiMQswCQYDVQQGEwJaQTElMCMGA1UE ChMcVGhhd3RlIENvbnN1bHRpbmcgKFB0eSkgTHRkLjEsMCoGA1UEAxMjVGhhd3RlIFBlcnNv bmFsIEZyZWVtYWlsIElzc3VpbmcgQ0EwHhcNMDQwMzE3MTI1MjEwWhcNMDUwMzE3MTI1MjEw WjBkMQ0wCwYDVQQEEwRXb29uMREwDwYDVQQqEwhXYWkgS2VlbjEWMBQGA1UEAxMNV2FpIEtl ZW4gV29vbjEoMCYGCSqGSIb3DQEJARYZZG91YmxldWtheUBkb3VibGV1a2F5LmNvbTCBnzAN BgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkCgYEAuX6fKzeKab99La+lprIlf+fZKnm7djZwCQWJBuCj uBdOpwx+ALwG/ryYKoUsS04ShllaTGvJ2Ivu/Aoz7gCgGZbtTL5fteDyZGtk2fJHDkEBiqCh 5zjVWFrqUBgg7w20I257Rq76UUtwsGpMGAul/xRrYt0dNTzja3Nj98/ej9cCAwEAAaM2MDQw JAYDVR0RBB0wG4EZZG91YmxldWtheUBkb3VibGV1a2F5LmNvbTAMBgNVHRMBAf8EAjAAMA0G CSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAA4GBAF88sYkHge/ot/4iSFXbTBjysfzyMRU8Bt3MaOu4PRF+dUYt6wVl tArBAAWN7emsJirAzzDrAlERzkkJ5hEHa8lSiCASfY2OhpmPoh4ZDbuzEPnna/YRrKbdLlRH ZFMKDrdz5saiFhZDSplQJn1jc71aYc7Ik8hBUZDlUPhDSfDPMIICdDCCAd2gAwIBAgIDC+9+ MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAMGIxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlpBMSUwIwYDVQQKExxUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3Vs dGluZyAoUHR5KSBMdGQuMSwwKgYDVQQDEyNUaGF3dGUgUGVyc29uYWwgRnJlZW1haWwgSXNz dWluZyBDQTAeFw0wNDAzMTcxMjUyMTBaFw0wNTAzMTcxMjUyMTBaMGQxDTALBgNVBAQTBFdv b24xETAPBgNVBCoTCFdhaSBLZWVuMRYwFAYDVQQDEw1XYWkgS2VlbiBXb29uMSgwJgYJKoZI hvcNAQkBFhlkb3VibGV1a2F5QGRvdWJsZXVrYXkuY29tMIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GN ADCBiQKBgQC5fp8rN4ppv30tr6WmsiV/59kqebt2NnAJBYkG4KO4F06nDH4AvAb+vJgqhSxL ThKGWVpMa8nYi+78CjPuAKAZlu1Mvl+14PJka2TZ8kcOQQGKoKHnONVYWupQGCDvDbQjbntG rvpRS3CwakwYC6X/FGti3R01PONrc2P3z96P1wIDAQABozYwNDAkBgNVHREEHTAbgRlkb3Vi bGV1a2F5QGRvdWJsZXVrYXkuY29tMAwGA1UdEwEB/wQCMAAwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEEBQADgYEA XzyxiQeB7+i3/iJIVdtMGPKx/PIxFTwG3cxo67g9EX51Ri3rBWW0CsEABY3t6awmKsDPMOsC URHOSQnmEQdryVKIIBJ9jY6GmY+iHhkNu7MQ+edr9hGspt0uVEdkUwoOt3PmxqIWFkNKmVAm fWNzvVphzsiTyEFRkOVQ+ENJ8M8wggM/MIICqKADAgECAgENMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIHR MQswCQYDVQQGEwJaQTEVMBMGA1UECBMMV2VzdGVybiBDYXBlMRIwEAYDVQQHEwlDYXBlIFRv d24xGjAYBgNVBAoTEVRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nMSgwJgYDVQQLEx9DZXJ0aWZpY2F0aW9u IFNlcnZpY2VzIERpdmlzaW9uMSQwIgYDVQQDExtUaGF3dGUgUGVyc29uYWwgRnJlZW1haWwg Q0ExKzApBgkqhkiG9w0BCQEWHHBlcnNvbmFsLWZyZWVtYWlsQHRoYXd0ZS5jb20wHhcNMDMw NzE3MDAwMDAwWhcNMTMwNzE2MjM1OTU5WjBiMQswCQYDVQQGEwJaQTElMCMGA1UEChMcVGhh d3RlIENvbnN1bHRpbmcgKFB0eSkgTHRkLjEsMCoGA1UEAxMjVGhhd3RlIFBlcnNvbmFsIEZy ZWVtYWlsIElzc3VpbmcgQ0EwgZ8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADgY0AMIGJAoGBAMSmPFVzVftO ucqZWh5owHUEcJ3f6f+jHuy9zfVb8hp2vX8MOmHyv1HOAdTlUAow1wJjWiyJFXCO3cnwK4Va qj9xVsuvPAsH5/EfkTYkKhPPK9Xzgnc9A74r/rsYPge/QIACZNenprufZdHFKlSFD0gEf6e2 0TxhBEAeZBlyYLf7AgMBAAGjgZQwgZEwEgYDVR0TAQH/BAgwBgEB/wIBADBDBgNVHR8EPDA6 MDigNqA0hjJodHRwOi8vY3JsLnRoYXd0ZS5jb20vVGhhd3RlUGVyc29uYWxGcmVlbWFpbENB LmNybDALBgNVHQ8EBAMCAQYwKQYDVR0RBCIwIKQeMBwxGjAYBgNVBAMTEVByaXZhdGVMYWJl bDItMTM4MA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAA4GBAEiM0VCD6gsuzA2jZqxnD3+vrL7CF6FDlpSdf0wh uPg2H6otnzYvwPQcUCCTcDz9reFhYsPZOhl+hLGZGwDFGguCdJ4lUJRix9sncVcljd2pnDmO jCBPZV+V2vf3h9bGCE6u9uo05RAaWzVNd+NWIXiC3CEZNd4ksdMdRv9dX2VPMYICujCCArYC AQEwaTBiMQswCQYDVQQGEwJaQTElMCMGA1UEChMcVGhhd3RlIENvbnN1bHRpbmcgKFB0eSkg THRkLjEsMCoGA1UEAxMjVGhhd3RlIFBlcnNvbmFsIEZyZWVtYWlsIElzc3VpbmcgQ0ECAwvv fjAJBgUrDgMCGgUAoIIBpzAYBgkqhkiG9w0BCQMxCwYJKoZIhvcNAQcBMBwGCSqGSIb3DQEJ BTEPFw0wNDA1MDUwOTIxMzNaMCMGCSqGSIb3DQEJBDEWBBTOgqMLlPZEOuqwu8yr6lR8xHYz vzBSBgkqhkiG9w0BCQ8xRTBDMAoGCCqGSIb3DQMHMA4GCCqGSIb3DQMCAgIAgDANBggqhkiG 9w0DAgIBQDAHBgUrDgMCBzANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBKDB4BgkrBgEEAYI3EAQxazBpMGIxCzAJ BgNVBAYTAlpBMSUwIwYDVQQKExxUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3VsdGluZyAoUHR5KSBMdGQuMSwwKgYD VQQDEyNUaGF3dGUgUGVyc29uYWwgRnJlZW1haWwgSXNzdWluZyBDQQIDC+9+MHoGCyqGSIb3 DQEJEAILMWugaTBiMQswCQYDVQQGEwJaQTElMCMGA1UEChMcVGhhd3RlIENvbnN1bHRpbmcg KFB0eSkgTHRkLjEsMCoGA1UEAxMjVGhhd3RlIFBlcnNvbmFsIEZyZWVtYWlsIElzc3Vpbmcg Q0ECAwvvfjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASBgJsmDzySGVpRUOf+SOqHTDMnBgcD8Quz8VT+7oVf 9xPusJiHjP/tktY8UlOXqchzbm0gUdpbkAo1RpI3SY2XcF/ikbhdDxcBh1/iX5neA+m/uoJd ek9U+aDV5xdlOnx4IX8fBWAuRczDuea9S2ec1+xMk28fACF1pwZIjGUoVCEwAAAAAAAA --------------ms070507020005030700020309--
