increasing swapping since 8.102

Hi,

have anyone seen something similar and resolved it?
We have one ASG220 in HA. RAM Usage is about 60% but the swapping is steadily increasing. Same on a Software Version with 2GB RAM and also around 60% RAM usage. I'm wondering where this swapping comes from. Rebooting is the last solution.

Regards

I asked about swapping here about a year ago. To make a long story short, the swap file size never goes down unless you reboot. If you aren't seeing RAM usage at 100%, you can just ignore the swap size.

you won't see ram at 100% because the default kernel swappiness is 60 which means the system will start swapping looooong before you actually exhaust your ram. vm.swappiness=0 will make sure swap isn't touched until there is real memory pressure and will prevent the system from swapping too early and hurting your system's performance.
