Re: Swap causing huge latency on disk IO operations

Hi Greg,

My general question is that has the community seen "swap latency issues with disk IO" in general. Further can we assume that later kernels (like 4.4) does not exhibit such a behavior.

Thanks,
Sudharsan

That's your problem, 2.6.32 is _very_ old and obsolete.  No one in the
community can help you out with that release anymore, sorry.

Please go get support from the company that is forcing you to stay at
such an old kernel version, as you are already paying them for that
support.

I strongly recommend you use a more modern kernel release, you will find
that things should be _much_ better...

good luck!
