I was running Mandrake 9.1 and I very rarely used the swapfile. Fedora, is swapping my applications out and using the ram for file cache. Is there any way to change this? To make it so that it never swaps applications out unless it absolutely has to?
Right now for example my system has been sitting idle for the last few hours, the file cache has grown and grown in memory use, while User has gotten smaller and smaller and the swapfile has grown in use. Right now I would say 80% of my ram is in use by cache and 20% by User/Shared/Buffers and the swapfile has 70MB in it that must be from User.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Darwin
Is this causing issues? Maybe the 70MB isn't being use that much? In which case you may be better swapping it out to make more room for cache.
