vm.swappiness = 10

Ok I realize I may not have been precise with my comments. Sorry. Usually my swap file is 0MB out of 6GB partition, but some times it indicates 50MB used or more. This was the normal value (ie 0MB), but recently it has worked itself up some time. So I wondered why ? I tried to find information on &q...

Ok got it....

sudo swapoff -a

No more swapfile!!!

Yes not important but curious!

Thanks

JM

Well swap file was set up at clean install of LM 17.2 for a space of 6GB on HDD. That's ok but what i'm having trouble is is if I do a restart 0 on swap file and latter 50MB??? What's on there????

I have core memory of 6GB and can't figure out why the swap file as at time up to 50MB size. This never happened with older version LM. Running LM 17.2 . I asked around to friends that are well versed with LM, puzzled too!

Thanks.
