Hey!
Maybe some noticed similiar behaviour ... We're running FBSD 3.0-RELEASE at our free server (over 80 thousands of ppl from Poland has e-mail and www pages on it). Few days ago we started to notice some strange behaviour - system was saing:
Date, timestamp www /kernel: swap_pager: suggest more swap space: 254 MB
But swap space is about 750 of MB! What is more interesting, that all this actions are being made at night! (3 a.m local time). What's more interesting that swap is on new SCSI drive - when badsectors should not exist, and even if they would be there they should be skipped by SCSI hardware.
So, has anyone spotted sth similliar ? Or can system do any maintain tasks at night which are not regarded in CronTab ?
I'm not quite certain what you're trying to say here, but it is common for some of the night jobs to take quite a bit of memory.
Are you certain you don't have a user that runs this through his crontab or similar? Info from top or ps might also prove interesting.
Eivind.
