1 I've recently switched to Gentoo, and the server was running fine until there was
2 a problem with SWAP.
3
4 Gentoo Server Performance decreased and of course Physical Memory was high and
5 warning was sent to root, me.
6
7 I've correctly mkswap /dev/hda2
8 and correctly swapon -a
9
10 However, it gives me resource busy.
11
12 Also, when I do
13
14 free
15
16 it shows no swap is used even though physical memory level is 98%.
17
18 Of course, the system gets unstable and forces me to shutdown some services,
19 which brings down to about 95%.
20 Why doesn't Gentoo utilitze swap?
21
22 also, I'm only running mysql, http, vsftpd.
23 What is the problem with Gentoo performance, whenever I add people and put a
24 quota on, and restart quota service? The it eats Memory.
25
26 Thanks,
