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

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

Added some info from the my system: [root at web-devel-local-1 ~]# uname -a Linux web-devel-local-1.in.parkam-ip.com 3.10.0-327.3.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 9 14:09:15 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [root at web-devel-local-1 ~]# cat /etc/sysctl.d/sysctl.conf # System default settings live in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/00-system.conf. # To override those settings, enter new settings here, or

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

Hi, I'm trying to use cgroups to limit the apache webserver but this doesn't seem to work as far as I can tell. I modified cgconfig.conf like this: group webserver { cpu { cpu.shares="250"; } } and addes this to cgrules.conf: *:httpd * webserver Looking into the "webserver" cgroup shows that the pid's of

Hi, I'm trying to build a redundant duo of firewalls/routers/gateways and I'm thinking about not putting any disks in them and instead using a usb-stick raid-1 as storage. Has anyone any experience with this? Since the machines will be running pretty much only iptables, conntrackd and keepalived there is not going to be a lot of disk activity going on and the plan is to do all the

Hi, I'm currently trying to mirror a couple of yum repositories and the only tool that seems to be available for this is reposync. Unfortunately reposync for some inexplicable reason seems to use the yum config of the local system as a basis for its work which makes no sense and creates all kinds of problems where cache directories and metadata gets mixed up. Are there any alternatives? Some
