Hi,

Maybe a double post, but here it goes :

This 2.2.16 machine is continuing to swap.. Looks like buffers are
growing, but not getting smaller :

             total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 193304 190592 2712 58816 88752 66092
-/+ buffers/cache: 35748 157556
Swap: 136544 2396 134148

This is vmstat 1 :

The machine is a plain 2.2.16, which runs a webserver, and some other
things.. After initial bootup the memory consumption is about 30 MB or
so, and it grows fast..

Any clue why it is using this large amount of mem ??
