Greetings;

I have 2.6.28-rc3 with a 5 day uptime, and I have had to do a "swapoff -a; 
swapon -a" almost daily to clear the swap.

This is about 18 hours since I last did that:
Mem:   4151132k total,  2891180k used,  1259952k free,   281224k buffers
Swap:  2048276k total,    85864k used,  1962412k free,  2078404k cached

I don't recall having to do this with 2.6.27 or any of its -rc's.

Comments anyone?
