RE: Server is swapping with free memory available

Is your database currently swapping as in active pages moving in and out of swap?

vmstat 5 200  

Does the si and so columns have anything besides 0?  

Or do you just have swap being consumed by processes from some previous over whelm of memory event?  

What specific processes are using swap?  

Need to run as root to see everything

for file in /proc/*/status ; do awk '/VmSwap|Name/{printf $2 " " $3}END{ print ""}' $file; done | awk '$3 == "kB" && $2 != 0 {print $1" "$2" "$3 }'

Have you tried with FILESYSYSTEMIO_OPTIONS=ALL?

Hello everyone -

We have a database server which is choosing to swap though there is plenty of free memory.

Any pointers on what to check are much appreciated..
