Greetings;

I have 2.6.28-rc3 with a 5 day uptime, and I have had to do a "swapoff -a;
swapon -a" almost daily to clear the swap.

This is about 18 hours since I last did that:
Mem: 4151132k total, 2891180k used, 1259952k free, 281224k buffers
Swap: 2048276k total, 85864k used, 1962412k free, 2078404k cached

I don't recall having to do this with 2.6.27 or any of its -rc's.

Comments anyone?
