"Swapd" is a daemon that watches free memory and manages swap files. If free
|
|
memory drops too low, additional swap files are created. Additionally, if there
|
|
is too much free memory, swap files are deactivated and disk space may be
|
|
reclaimed.
|
|
|
|
"Linux swapd" (https://sourceforge.net/projects/swapd/) didn't work very well,
|
|
but the idea was good. I started making a version that would work and
|
|
would also be somewhat portable. It currently compiles on Linux and FreeBSD,
|
|
but requires `libstatgrab' (http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/) to work on
|
|
platforms that don't have /proc/meminfo (i.e., platforms that aren't Linux).
