Subject: How do I free swap
Please no debates on why I need to clear swap...

If I have a box with 20% free ram and 5% free swap but no paging
activity - how do I force linux to release the allocated swap? I have
~ 2x as much allocated swap as free memory so simply turning swap off
seems like a bad idea.

Thanks
