Guys, I still need help with this. After a week of uptime almost all swap space
is taken:
top - 19:24:32 up 7 days, 5:26, 1 user, load average: 0.24, 0.16, 0.22
Tasks: 169 total, 1 running, 168 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
%Cpu(s): 0.2 us, 0.2 sy, 0.0 ni, 99.7 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st
KiB Mem : 1794860 total, 202308 free, 1458900 used, 133652 buff/cache
KiB Swap: 1048572 total, 147568 free, 901004 used. 194116 avail Mem
Current "ps auxw" along with "smbcontrol all pool-usage" are here:

Any help is kindly appreciated!
