Echo a value 0 to 100 into /proc/sys/vm/swappiness.
Higher the number, more swap.
Here's an interesting argument from some kernel developers:
<http://kerneltrap.org/node/3000>
I would at least keep a little bit of swap space. If you were to ever run out
of physical memory it WILL cause a kernel panic. Just a suggestion.
And that is why we are suggesting changing swappiness instead of
turning of swap.
I assume then, with swappiness set to 0, *if* the system does happen to
need some extra pages, then it *will* go into swap, but only if all
memory is exhausted? Zat sound right?
