Hi, One of my compute node eats up swap, and it turns out to be a kvm process. So I have two questions:
1. How to release the swap? I tried terminating other instances on the same node, but it doesn't help. So can I use the normal approach like "sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, swapoff -a && swapon -a" on compute node? Will it be too dangerous? 2. What will cause the kvm process eating up swap? I don't think it possible to launch new instance in a cloud that is already full. Are there any other causes? Something I should avoid in the future? Thanks. PS: I'm coping with a cloud of Diablo release, which is handed over from a previous Ops. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openstack Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openstack More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
