However, this is purpose of SWAP to use it as extended RAM. If you don't need SWAP at all (e.g. your hard disk toooooo slooowwww), you can format SWAP partition into some user-usable partition format like Ext4,NTFS etc
too slow?! Are You kidding? It is not an SSD but newest WD with 250 MB/s speed. The problem is application constantly grows in size because of memory leak and eats all the memory and swap, and while other applications are relatively small unloading them to swap is useless. And after app is killed and I can't get unloaded apps to work - they are unresponsive: whether kernel or KDE fails to tell kernel to unload them so forced to reboot machine. Which was not the case in 2.x versions of kernel where I was able to set swat 2-3 times bigger than memory, while now 1:1 proportion is useless. So trying to understand what is wrong here: kernel settings, KDE or whatever? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
