Does this mean the system will be still stable with 99% memory usage? I mean, at some point it should turn into swap. The system reaches up to 99% physical memory usage with less than 3 MB of physical memory left. The server response slows down, and the server is still not willing to change. -Tom- On Fri Jul 30 10:37 , Colin Kingsley <[email protected]> sent: >On Fri, 30 Jul 2004 08:59:38 -0600, Gyujin Park [email protected]> wrote: >> I've recently switched to Gentoo, and the server was running fine until there was >> a problem with SWAP. >> >> Gentoo Server Performance decreased and of course Physical Memory was high and >> warning was sent to root, me. >> >> I've correctly mkswap /dev/hda2 >> and correctly swapon -a >> >> However, it gives me resource busy. >> >> Also, when I do >> >> free >> >> it shows no swap is used even though physical memory level is 98%. > >free shows no swap used on my system either. and 90% or more physical >memory use is standard for the linux kernel. > >> Of course, the system gets unstable and forces me to shutdown some services, >> which brings down to about 95%. >> Why doesn't Gentoo utilitze swap? > >What exactly are your stability issues?
