For the last couple of days I've been witness to a quirk on an RH9 box where the swap file's usage increases over 150 megs in a matter of seconds, stays there for about 3 or 4 minutes and then drops back down again. I tried checking ps and top and nothing seems out of the ordinary. (Although I still don't understand why the percent of memory usage never adds up to more than about 30% in either one of those programs.) Is there any process by which the system would flush a lot of data to the swap file and then clean it back off without some application viewable by top/ps showing it in use? Also, does anyone know of a much more powerful tool for finding this out?
