I have 1.5 G of RAM, and from time to time I inadvertently get stuck with swapping overload. At this time it becomes difficult even to swap to the virtual console with ctrl-alt-f1, and having got there, even though I changed the login time-out to 10 minutes, sometimes it times out.
Mine does not time out.
Is your disk rotating rust? The situation improves a lot with swap on SDD.
It might appear to but the reality is that it hasn't. All you've done is reduced the disk access latency time.
Which is what I want.
There is still the lack of available memory and the VM subsystem is still dealing with continual page faulting and servicing in order to maintain a working set.
So what? For someone that has limited memory and can not add more, the situation improves with swap on sdd, that's a proven fact. By my personal and others experience. That maybe there are other things to improve the situation. Ok, so what? Still an sdd improves the situation. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
