As I already provided in my earlier posts on this thread The more swap space you allocate, the more the kernel will try to use it
Of course if you have a swap space larger than 6GB, you will be using more than 2GB
Is this true? On the 42.3 machine on which I am typing this, command free reports: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 32931508 10458908 22472600 144576 648768 4378808 -/+ buffers/cache: 5431332 27500176 Swap: 66297844 0 66297844 32 GByte of memory, 63 Gbyte swap. 0 swap in use after 9 days.
The 2.4 and later swap algorithms will always try to use a good chunk of the available swap space
