centos + kswapd0 error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi all

I have a box with Centos 4 and qmail with all pathches. since Last month i
have had twice the same problem. The process kswapd0 uses all my resources
of CPU and RAM memory and the consequence is that my local queue grow up and
the box go slow too.

The first time i guess the problem was the version of the kernel, so i did
an upgrade form kernel.i686 2.6.9-5.0.3.EL to kernel.i686 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL

apparently the problem was solved but today the problem came again. The
following snapshot shows the situation:
