How are you disabling it? Instead of editing /etc/sysctl.conf, just make a new file, e.g. /etc/sysctl.d/noswap.conf, with: vm.swappiness = 1 That will avoid losing your setting if sysctl.conf is overwritten during system update. Setting swappiness to 0 (to disable swapping) is a bad idea, since it will subject you to the OOM killer, which is a result of the memory-overcommitment brain damage (conflating allocation of virtual address space, physical memory, and swap space) that Linux and its ecosystem inherited from Unix and POSIX. The vm.overcommit_memory option can't fix that, but using 1 instead of 0 for swappiness will swap only as much as necessary to avoid the OOM killer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-devel" group.
