It's working as designed.

Sadly. It is just my first time I see this behaviour to this extent/on so many servers. So you can say that I'm kind of a newbie in swapping ;)

If you don't explicitly lock things into memory, file I/O can and will
cause idle pages to get pushed out. It happens less often if you
manipulate swappines.

So, is a swappiness value of 60 not recommended for servers? I worked with hundreds of servers (swappiness 60) on a social platform and swapping very rarely happened and then only on databases (which had swappiness set to 0). The only two differences (that I can see) to my current servers are that I used Debian and there was no "extra" I/O from backups.

I might be overstating the swapping thing. That's what I'm trying to find out.

Cheers, Shorty
