MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1921 Lines: 40 Hi, I have a problem for some time with that the amount of swap being used constantly increases up to the moment where the swap is used in 100% and the machine deadlocks. How do I find out which proceses use swap and in what amount? I tried using top and sorting by SWAP, it shows this: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ SWAP COMMAND 3390 ncg 15 0 72504 3380 1720 S 0.0 0.7 0:00.76 67m ncgserver 24718 mysql 15 0 68056 7364 2232 S 0.0 1.4 2:30.70 59m mysqld 582 fallen 16 0 30396 568 480 S 0.0 0.1 0:02.40 29m sc_serv 624 vpopmail 16 0 31124 1736 1436 S 0.0 0.3 0:01.99 28m spamd 31765 solt 16 0 29916 1020 616 S 0.0 0.2 0:02.25 28m sc_serv 3348 bind 22 0 31604 3872 1472 S 0.0 0.8 0:48.84 27m named 24021 root 16 0 32976 10m 7228 S 0.0 2.1 0:01.99 21m apache 13066 www-data 16 0 33104 10m 7276 S 0.0 2.2 0:00.62 21m apache 13103 www-data 16 0 33104 10m 7276 S 0.0 2.2 0:00.61 21m apache 13104 www-data 16 0 33104 10m 7276 S 0.0 2.2 0:00.60 21m apache 13099 www-data 16 0 33104 10m 7276 S 0.3 2.2 0:00.63 21m apache 13142 www-data 16 0 33104 10m 7276 S 0.0 2.2 0:00.61 21m apache 29898 www-data 16 0 33108 11m 7580 S 0.0 2.2 0:00.01 21m apache 13061 www-data 16 0 34492 12m 7700 S 0.0 2.5 0:00.56 21m apache 13057 www-data 15 0 35076 13m 7696 S 0.0 2.6 0:00.78 21m apache 23259 www-data 16 0 36344 14m 7784 S 0.0 2.9 0:01.15 21m apache 13062 www-data 15 0 37812 15m 7868 S 0.0 3.2 0:01.03 20m apache Or should I look at VIRT or MEM ?
