Swap File Usage and Priorities
Issue
- We have swap files setup in a priortized/tiered fashion and have seen many instances where lower priority swap files get used before higher priority swap files are full.
-
Here is the output of swapon -s that is an example of what I am talking about.
Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sdh1 partition 8428128 0 70 /dev/sdi1 partition 5426196 0 70 /dev/sdj1 partition 87524 26260 99 /dev/sdk1 partition 87524 26296 99 /dev/sdl1 partition 300211 12 98 /dev/sdm1 partition 300211 12 98 /dev/sdn1 partition 192141 0 80
