Hi, all! I installed qemu-kvm-0.12.1.1 in one equipment of my house yesterday to test it with Linux 2.6.32 compiled by myself from the source code of kernel.org. From the night of yesterday that I am observing a high use of swap. This is the Service Log Entries from Nagios: 12-26-2009 21:57:33 12-26-2009 23:42:33 0d 1h 45m 0s SERVICE WARNING (HARD) SWAP WARNING - 30% free (142 MB out of 486 MB) 12-26-2009 23:42:33 12-27-2009 00:00:00 0d 0h 17m 27s SERVICE CRITICAL (HARD) SWAP CRITICAL - 9% free (41 MB out of 486 MB) 12-27-2009 00:00:00 12-27-2009 06:27:33 0d 6h 27m 33s SERVICE CRITICAL (HARD) SWAP CRITICAL - 5% free (22 MB out of 486 MB) 12-27-2009 06:27:33 12-27-2009 12:49:51 0d 6h 22m 18s+ SERVICE WARNING (HARD) SWAP WARNING - 14% free (67 MB out of 486 MB) The hour has been ART (GMT-3).
