It sounds like you have a misbehaving app with a memory leak that is slowly malloc'ing your system to death.
Can you look at top and see if one proc has a virtual memory requirement that is off-scale high?
I have top running now. Earlier this morning, I was up to about 3.9 G swap. I then started shutting down Firefox, Seamonkey and Chromium. That dropped swap down to about 1.4 G. However, given that I'm not even using all real memory, why is swap used at all? Memory use is currently about 10 G of 16.
I just noticed something curious. There has been another problem, which requires me to occasionally run the command "kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell". When I did that, swap dropped from about 3.6 G to 0.5.
This issue continues and I have not been able to find any app causing it. Swap keeps increasing, even though not all of the memory is being used. After killing and restarting the desktop swap is back to zero. I have tried killing individual apps and while that reduces memory use, it has little effect on swap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
