Subject: excessive swapping in 2.4.x
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 21:07:42 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <7E768FF1.7BC13987.0005DAE9@netscape.net> (raw)

Hi, 

I am using 2.4.21 and I see an unusually large amount of swapping for relatively low load : 

sample vmstat output: (note that the system is almost idle)

  procs                      memory    swap          io     system         cpu
r  b  w   swpd   free   buff  cache  si  so    bi    bo   in    cs  us  sy  id
0  2  0 1850220  10524   9412 703652 3030 1102  3912  1106 1506  1710   1   1  98
0  2  0 1849188  10572   9388 700568 2780 376  3558   379 1434  1284   1   1  99
0  5  0 1851576  11668   9404 698228 2999 479  3890   488 1499  1487   1   1  98

Is this a known issue? Whats happening? How do I fix this?

thanks!
