We have a vendor doing some FTP stress-tests on one of our images, and their
tech has sent the following data, cut and pasted from a Linux screen.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# vmstat
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu----
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa
0 0 80 1768 1324 236552 0 0 224 180 270 294 0 1 94 4
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 371 369 1 0 1 229
-/+ buffers/cache: 139 231
Swap: 562 0 562
He mentions that "This indicates that swap was being used during the FTP." I
presume he is referring to the value 80 under "swpd" in the memory category.
That, however, does not seem to me to square with the swap-in and swap-out
rates of 0 and the "used" value of 0 on the last line.
What exactly does the "swpd" number mean?
Thanks,
Jon
