To make sure that vm.swappiness is really contribute to the tendency to swap of the kernel as documented, I also did a test on Tumbleweed with vm.swappiness=60, which is the default value.
The test result is as expected, the swap kicked in late compared to vm.swappiness=180. And not only that, the system doesn't try to maintain the free space in RAM. ** Attachment added: "Tumbleweed vm.swappiness60.mp4" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2064483/+attachment/5773789/+files/Tumbleweed%20vm.swappiness60.mp4 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064483 Title: Ubuntu 24.04 doesn't respect vm.swappiness To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2064483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
