Full Version: swap maxing out while ram use is only 47% ???
The Planet Forums > Control Panels > cPanel/WHM

WHM has been reporting that the swap is between 95 and 100%

Currently:

root@skyline [~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2007 1937 69 0 69 646
-/+ buffers/cache: 1220 786
Swap: 2000 1868 131


Looks like pretty normal stats (plenty of room in the buffer), except why is there so much swap used at this time? WHM says that the memory (ram) use is only 47%.

Anyone have a clue about this?

Thanks very much.

69 megs left free isn't a lot. If you notice the system is always using a large amount of swap you might want to consider throwing more RAm in the system or having someone go over and make sure programs are optimized for the servers hardware.
