Swap implication in Linux and way to increase it
- by vimalnath
I used top command to print this on Linux box:
[root@localhost ~]# top
top - 23:38:38 up 361 days, 12:16, 2 users, load average: 0.09, 0.06, 0.01
Tasks: 129 total, 2 running, 126 sleeping, 1 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.0% us, 0.2% sy, 0.0% ni, 96.5% id, 3.4% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si
Mem: 2074712k total, 1996948k used, 77764k free, 16632k buffers
Swap: 1052248k total, 1052248k used, 0k free, 331540k cached
I am not sure what Swap:0k
free means in the last line.
Is this normal behavior for a linux box to have value of 0
Thanks
