Lion - Memory - SWAPFILES multiplying for no reason
Using Lion on 17" MacBook Pro -
I don't know about MDS - don't know what it is - but after seeing available HD space disappear gradually down to nothing when using computer - I tried all sorts of disk cleaning utilities - and have found that ---- AT THE LEAST --- gian swapfiles are engulfing the var/vm folder, taking up that HD space.
WHen I watch the folder, a new swapfile appears every 30 seconds or so, and there are NO APPLICATIONS running besides Safari.
I read elsewhere that this is a Safari memory management problem.
Is it also MDS, whatever that is?
Is there a solution?
Sometimes restarting or doing shutdown and restart helps.
Sometimes the same HD space remains disappeared.
HELP!
