    SubjectRe: Kernel 2.6.8.1: swap storm of death - CFQ scheduler=culprit
    From
    Date
    When using elevator=as I'm unable to trigger the swap of death, so it seems
    that the CFQ scheduler is at blame here.

    With AS scheduler, the system recovers in +-10 seconds, vmstat output during
    that time:

    procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- ----cpu----

    With CFQ processes got stuck in 'D' and never left that state. See URL's in my
    initial post for diagnostics.
