[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1579423"] But a failing HD won't trigger swap. It may slow down swap if the swap hits a bunch of bad sectors and gets fragmented, but if AM measures swap happening, then memory is being consumed by something. What we need to do is get the memory leak stopped so RAM is not stressed, swap stops and then we can see how the drive is doing. [/QUOTE]
