I thought swap is only used if there is not enough memory.
Using "free -m" on my system (using redhat 9.0) shows lots free memory
(819 MB) but yet swap is used.

total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 1005 982 23 0 108
687
-/+ buffers/cache: 186 819
Swap: 1498 9 1488

I'd appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,
TK
