Monitoring swap

I wrote a mon script to monitor swap use because catching systems when memory use gets excessive before they go Oom is a good thing. When I deployed it I was notified of one of my servers which had 99% of the 2G of swap used but also 7G of "buff/cache" memory according to top and seemed to be

If you have a RAID-1 of 2TB disks a single 1TB disk doesn't provide much value. I suggest using the port for a second SSD instead and have a RAID-1 on SSD for root and /home and 2*2TB RAID-1 for everything else. If a 2TB RAID-1 isn't enough for your big files then consider getting a couple of

In regard to the hardware advice. The LUV hardware library often has DDR3 RAM for free, but 4G modules don't hang around long. If anyone is upgrading from a DDR3 system to DDR4 please donate your old RAM as lots of people have a use for this. Also we need more SATA disks, if anyone has disks

A few days ago there was some downtime on the LUV server because rebooting another VM on the same hardware revealed a bug in the KVM scripts that shut off IPv4 access. Tonight I have just upgraded the LUV server to Debian/Testing (we are in the freeze process for the next release of Debian).
