Subject: A problem with kswapd

Hi,

I have a problem with kswapd and I didn't find anything in the
archives of the list (I hope not having missed someone).

kswapd is using 100% of CPU in a suse sles8 with kernel 2.4.241. This
machine has its FS under LVM and ResiserFS, except for /boot which is
in ext2.

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Sorry kernel is 2.4.21.

We have other machines in the "same" conditions and they have a normal
behavour. We don't know the reason for this awkward behavour.

I don't know if we can change to kernel 2.4.20, its a production
machine and I have to check if that kernel has official support.

If your kernel is a kernel that came with SuSE, please contact SuSE
support.

If your kernel is a vanilla ftp.kernel.org kernel, please try whether
2.4.30 already fixes this issue.
