Execute `swapoff -a`, followed by `swapon -a`. This is no joke. Thanks. That really helped, let alone the fact that swapoff is a lengthy operation (I can understand why), the resulting memory was even less than the original RAM+swap size. I guess that happened because of memory rearrangements when moving it up to RAM. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
