Hello all
Also a question about swap.
I have 4G of RAM and partition about 4G for swap.
# cat /etc/fstab
....
LABEL=SWAP-cciss/c0d0p swap swap defaults 0 0
....
But seems Fedora doesn't use swap
# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4086512 3951232 135280 0 160540 898700
-/+ buffers/cache: 2891992 1194520
Swap: 0 0 0
Why?? I've heard that with big amount of physical memory Fedora
doesn't use it.
I tryed to do
# swapon -a
no results ...
Also i'm very interested who "eats" this memory
# ps axuwww | grep -v "USER" | awk '{ vsz = vsz + $5; rss = rss + $6};
END {print "VSZ = ", vsz, " RSS = ", rss}'
VSZ = 3229396 RSS = 2659344
so resident set size, the non-swapped physical memory that a tasks has
used (in kiloBytes) is 2659344k ~= 2.6G , and virtual memory size of
the processes in KiB is about 3.2G . But all this this is much lesser
then shows free utility (3.9).
can someone explain plz?
