New Asus RT-N16 Router

[Bohlendach]

My N16's been up for 3 days and consumed no swap yet.

My N16 is slowly increasing the usage of its memory. I have used wengis tutorial.

When it has been rebooted it uses about 30mb, which increases over 1-2 hours to 120 mb and then 0,1 mb of the swap and nothing more.

Transmission is running with two active torrents, but no download/upload

This is a problem when you want to spin down the harddrive.

Should I just do a swapoff?

it's just cache and buffering
I wouldn't recommend swapoff

yet it's unusual that it increases that much.
When you do some work at samba after a reboot you can see the usage increasing btw.

You were right. I killed Samba and the usage of memory stayed on 33 mb.

Now I only run Samba when needed and start it with Xinetd.

Good idea, but transfers might be a bit slower
