i was noticing my hdd spinning up quite a but more than normal, then i noticed some stuff was a little sluggish, looked up at my resource usage applet, what is using that much ram? opens task manager what if firefox doing opens about:performance and the mysterious process using 12GB of ram is not showing up, so i stopped the process firefox remained working in all windows, so i then killed the process nothing stopped working... what gives why were you eating 12gb of ram for without being able to tell my where and how
i have 3 drives boot ssd (120GB) and 2 HDDs (500GB + 1TB) swap is on a HDD as i should never need to use it
edit: adblock stopped working properly after killing that process

nom, nom, nom....

what does htop say?

i saw blinking on the server HDD, but can't figure out what the deal is as no process seems to be using it. at least not much.
