Just a honest hint: try to ask 1 question to get 1 answer. As I see you have more than one question here.asdmin– asdmin2015-04-08 11:43:20 +00:00Commented Apr 8, 2015 at 11:43

I don't mean to be a troll, but have you considered disabling swap?Otheus– Otheus2015-05-13 00:14:21 +00:00Commented May 13, 2015 at 0:14

@Otheus That would cause the system to run out of memory. But it would probably run fine until then.Ole Tange– Ole Tange2015-05-13 17:09:43 +00:00Commented May 13, 2015 at 17:09

Running out of memory and letting the OOM killer do its job might be preferable. Is your system primarily a server or a workstation? If it's a server, I'd say: never swap. Anyway, I wish I could answer your question, but kernels beyond 2.4 are unknown to me.Otheus– Otheus2015-05-15 02:35:50 +00:00Commented May 15, 2015 at 2:35

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
