What am I missing here? This happened on db3 again -
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 18480632 18383512 97120 0 25968 17305332
-/+ buffers/cache: 1052212 17428420
Swap: 3145720 3145720 0
1) This box was swapping out like crazy.
2) All swap was full
3) oomkiller didn't start
4) Load went up a little bit, topped out at 3
5) no issues with the box at all, has postgres on it, kept running, wasn't
slow, box was completely responsive.
6) It's done this before, and aside from nagios alerting us the swap was
full, not had any issues with the box.
7) vm.swappiness = 60 which IIRC is the default
