Okay I am getting suspicious of tuxonice. Setting swappiness to zero
does not mean kernel wont use any swap but it should not be prefering
swap over ram when 2G of ram is out there either.
Just out of curiosity, can you find out which app(s) being swapped ?
I would give a try to gentoo-sources and see if the issue can be reproduced.
I agree. If swappiness is set to 0, it should not use swap unless it is
to prevent the system from crashing. I set mine to 30 and I have 2Gbs
of ram. The only time it uses any swap at all is when I am compiling
OOo or maybe, just maybe, gcc. Other than that, it is using pretty much
all the ram because I have a couple hundred picture files open or
something. It is rare that I use swap even with it set to 30. I can't
see much of any reason it should when set at 0 except to prevent crashing.
There seems to be something fishy on the OP's system. I'm not sure what
but it is not working as it should. I use gentoo-sources here. 2.6.35
at the moment.
