| |
I have a 2GB dual opteron workstation running Ubuntu 5.04 with 2.6.11-1-amd64-k8-smp on MSI K8T Master2-FAR
I am experiencing kswapd using 98% of cpu. My Googling implied that this had been fixed in 2.6.11 - is there still a known problem? I wasn't very clear about this after searching the archives, and I'd be grateful for information - I'm not an expert I'm afraid, and I'd like to be sure it isn't a hardware problem. If there is a problem, is there a workaround (e.g. a boot parameter that I might supply?) or is it OK simply to allow the cpu usage to continue (temperatures are only a couple of degrees higher).
I don't know if it's relevent but I notice that dmesg reports:-
Restarting tasks...<6> Strange, khubd not stopped Strange, kswapd0 not stopped Strange, kseriod not stopped done
Swap is not actually used:-
total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 2055816 438068 1617748 0 49528 164808 -/+ buffers/cache: 223732 1832084 Swap: 2104464 0 2104464
I'd appreciate a Cc, as I'm not subscribed.
