Hi,
This is a bit off topic, hope there is not a problem.
Anyone out there experiencing high swapping with the kernel retaining a
large amount of buffers? This used to be a problem on 2.4, and I usually
changed /proc/sys/vm/freepages to fix it. But on 2.6 this parameter no longer
exists.
One of the servers here is holding over 3.5Gb of cache even when using
over 700Mb of swap, and free memory is always low.

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 5190736 4810880 379856 0 143032 3583868
-/+ buffers/cache: 1083980 4106756
Swap: 2048248 723064 1325184

I am tuning /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, but this seems to have no effect at
all. Changed from 60 to 10 and seems to have no effect. The server runs Oracle
RAC with OCFS2.
Regards,
Luis
