But now my system loves my swap. I have turned vm.swappiness down to 1 in order to minimize swapping, but at this time something in excess of 6 GB of my swap is in use. Specifically,
- Code: Select all
root@dadsbox:jiml> sysctl -a | grep swapp
vm.swappiness = 1
root@dadsbox:jiml> free
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 32784036 6392636 1513528 19836636 24877872 6049716
Swap: 36909400 6666660 30242740
WTF?
Other than the update, nothing at all has changed in the system. My normal usage pattern continues, and there should be enough RAM to keep the swap to a minimum. I normally expect the system to be using less than 1GB of swap.
This usage of swap is causing noticeable slowdowns when I access a VM that I have not accessed for a few hours. I do have the swap available, just in case, but this is ridiculous.
Does anyone have any ideas?
