Why is swap zero bytes? I know it is not needed, but still, after some uptime it tends to have some. (It doesn't cause your problem at all, it is just a curiosity I have; just in case it is disabled somehow) If swap is enabled, when there is an OOM situation the computer becomes (very) slow but doesn't crash immediately, as it moves chunks to swap. If an application is growing slowly in memory without reason, it tends to occupy more swap. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
