Hi,
I have a problem for some time with that the amount of swap
being used constantly increases up to the moment where
the swap is used in 100% and the machine deadlocks.
How do I find out which proceses use swap and in what amount?
I tried using top and sorting by SWAP, it shows this:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ SWAP COMMAND
3390 ncg 15 0 72504 3380 1720 S 0.0 0.7 0:00.76 67m ncgserver
24718 mysql 15 0 68056 7364 2232 S 0.0 1.4 2:30.70 59m mysqld

13062 www-data 15 0 37812 15m 7868 S 0.0 3.2 0:01.03 20m apache
Or should I look at VIRT or MEM ?
I am confused.
Regards,
Maciej
