Subject: minimizing swap usage
Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2001 14:30:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C21E7F1.3040406@ti.com> (raw)
Hi,all
Can someone give me a pointer to how I can avoid somethign like this:
foo@bar]$ free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 249 245 4 0 6 136
-/+ buffers/cache: 102 147
Swap: 243 89 153
What's with all the caching when my apps crawl because it's swapping so
much ? I've tried to adjust /proc/vm/kswapd parameters but that doesn't
seem to help..I'd like to postpone the swapping until its almost out of
physical memory..
best regards
Christian
