    Hello!
    I am running Kernel 2.4.21 on a unstable Debian box. I have included my IDE
    Chipset driver
    I have just ONE game server on it and do not use that box very much,
    although, it uses its swap space for some reasons.

    load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00
    Mem: 249136k total, 153572k used, 95564k free, 23636k buffers
    Swap: 512024k total, 143652k used, 368372k free, 24500k cached

    # hdparm -t /dev/hda
    /dev/hda:
     Timing buffered disk reads: 150 MB in 3.01 seconds = 49.83 MB/sec

    How can i find out why it is using so much swap, and how can i prevent it
    form doing so?
    This swap usage makes my box very slow.

    Cheers, Mario
