      Hello.

      Since 2.5.2 pfSense uses SWAP even when RAM is avaliable to use.

      What is worng? If something is wrong.

      And pfSense time is not reflecting the time is in my region.

      I already applied all avaliable patches.

        The swap slice is also used for crash reports, but that would be a lot of crash reports!

        It show like that if the RAM has ever been exhausted. Check the monitoring graphs for hiostorical RAM usage.
