Hi, I'm looking for a way to prevent qemu processes on a libvirt host to use swap unless there is no physical memory free but apparently this is not as easy as I'd hoped it would be. This is on a CentOS 7 system. At first I tried setting /proc/sys/vm/swappiness to 1 (apparently setting it to 0 now means even the OOM killer takes precedence over swapping:

Sadly. It is just my first time I see this behaviour to this extent/on so many servers. So you can say that I'm kind of a

Hi All, I have a server that has its swappiness set to 0. It is running a little tight on memory and so there have been a couple of events where the OOM_killer has been invoked and killed off MySQL, which you would expect. Now if you have your swappiness at 0 then "A value of 0 instructs the kernel not to initiate swap until the amount of free and file-backed pages is less than the high

One thing that should be noted is that regardless of swappiness, overcommit might be an issue. If a single process is using most of the memory in a system, and attempts to

Hi all, I used to use centos 4.5 on an AMD 4800+ with 2GIG ram. Now I use centos 5.1 on AMD 6400+ with 4GIG RAM. The system responsiveness is different between the two. I noticed that centos 5.1 seems to be swapping programs out of memory at times resulting in slowness (perceived by me). I played with swappiness (/proc/sys/vm/) setting to 10, then 1 then 0. Still resulted in the same perceived

Hi all, This might not be CentOS related at all. Sorry about that. I have lots of C6 & C7 machines in use and all of them have the default swappiness of 60. The problem now is that a lot of those machines do swap although there is no memory pressure. I'm now thinking about lowering swappiness to 1. But I'd still like to find out why this happens. The only common thing between all

You are correct, I'll refine my problem, By running "systemctl status systemd-sysctl" I also receive the same output, but a simple "cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness" returns the default value, and not the one set by my conf file. But, if I run "/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl" the "cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness" does return the correct value. Any idea ? Does

Hai, How is the swappiness set? cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness Its probely set to 60, i suggest, lower it to 10 or 20. That wil help keeping the samba processes out of swap. I've see more programs gettting OOM Killed due too out of swap. echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness Stop and start samba Greetz, Louis > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: samba

Well, that's a different story, then. :) I haven't seen delays anywhere near that long before, even with heavy swapping. But I guess I'd look at that sort of

"Unable to handle kernel paging request". I've saved the OOPS data from the logs for 6 panics since the 4.4 update. Two before I turned on DRI for my radeon (why not? Couldn't be any less "stable"). Did my google work and became aware it is a long-standing unfixed problem (at least through kernel 2.6.15? IIRC). I've started reading what I can find on crash to see

Hi, Does anyone know how to correctly configure RadRails (0.7)? I can''t seem to get 0.7 version of radrails to create a Rails project. All I get is a blank project. I have ensured that my PATH does point to my ruby\bin area. Also any clarification regarding which directory (with an example) should be used for the following preferences setting (are they asking for a file or
