Swappiness...

2 Mar 2007


      In an attempt to see what swappiness does to the performance
of my machine, I tried setting it and experimenting. Well, I
don't seem to be able to do that.
$ su -
# cd /proc/sys/vm
# cat swappiness
60
# echo 40>swappiness
# cat swappiness
60
# echo 75>swappiness
# cat swappiness

# uname -a
