To swap or not to swap ;-) (was RE: To lvm or not to lvm)

[Carruth, Rusty]

80GB of memory?  And I thought I was bad at 15G ;-)

Firefox leaks, or something.  And our IT has a stupid rule in place that they force on us which makes it impossible to reach our private subnet since all 192.168.*.* addresses are forced to go to the web proxy (REALLY, local-only, non-routable IP addresses MUST go through a proxy??? Gah!!!).  They have made it so we cannot change the proxy setting on our computer (other than on/off, as I remember), so since Chrome and Windows Exploiter use the lockdown setting I can’t even bother using them (short of turning off the proxy for them, which as I sit here typing I’m not sure I can do, and if I did then I couldn’t use it for anything else!).

Have filed a ticket with our IT, of course, but I’ll be lucky if I hear anything this month or even next.

Bah.

…

My biggest issues are … browsers using 80gb of memory, and libreoffice going crazy occasionally.
