It's been a while since I last touched that part of code, but I believe
the "swapuse" limit is swap reservation. In other words, the amount of
swap that would be used if the system had to swap, in the worst case
scenario.
Then it is very misleading to name it "swapuse". And I can't imagine how
this "tiny web application" can ever need to reserve 60GB of swap.
I think the rctl man page needs a better explanation of all resources
and behaviour of manipulation with limits.
FreeBSD was very well know for it's good documentation, but rctl is not
this case. It is too brief.
For swapuse, there is only "swap usage, in bytes" - nothing that one can
deduce it is "reservation for the worst case if system had to swap and
not the actual swap usage"

Hello Edward,
I am trying to contact you directly, because you are the author of RCTL.
Can you shed some light on this issue? I still have a problem with
understanding this swapuse issue. Now I have a monitoring of all values
reported by "rctl -u jail:fox" and there are values like 60GB of
swapuse. It doesn't make sense to me.
If this is a bug, I can send you a CSV log file, od ODS (LibreOffice
Calc) with graph, or MRTG graphs of all values.

I tried RCTL for the first time, so maybe it is error on my side.

Both jails are small webservers with PHP + Apache. They do not use much
memory and they really do not user any swap space. (according to top and
swapinfo)
# swapinfo -h
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/mirror/gm0s1b 16777216 0B 16G 0%
# rctl -hu jail:fox | grep swap
swapuse=0
Processes in both jails are logged as using more than 32MB of swap:

Is it expected? I do not think so.
Or am I doing something wrong with rctl?
This is really strange. FOP (Java application) in jail is failing unless
rctl swapuse is set to 7GB or more.
Does swapuse means anything completely different than what is swapinfo
or top reporting?
The same web services with FOP is running completely fine on real server
with 2GB of physical RAM installed and less than 5GB of swap partition
(swap is empty). But it is not working in jail if RCTL is set to
swapuse:deny=4GB or memoryuse:deny=4GB.
Can somebody explain it?
