We've noticed that swapping is much more agressive in 10.0 than
in 8.3 and have indeed seen it swap processes out when there is
10GB+ free memory.

    Regards

Hi!

I’m seeing the same thing since upgrading to 10/stable. Things seems to need swap although there is still available memory. I tend 
not to use swap on my virtual instances but I’ve seen error messages like this since upgrading to 10/stable:

pid 3028 (mysqld), uid 88, was killed: out of swap space

Mem: 24M Active, 8012K Inact, 109M Wired, 2176K Cache, 69M Buf, 433M Free


Looks like there should be enough memory to start mysql… (the above instance is a t1.micro FreeBSD AMI running on AWS EC2, created 
by Colin Percival)

Something seems to have changed since FreeBSD 9 in terms of memory manager / page eviction.

Anyone else seeing this? Is it now impossible to run FreeBSD without a swap partition (and or file)? This happens on my server as 
well which has 8GB RAM and plenty of free RAM…

I don’t want to start guessing, but perhaps this happens when there is some memory fragmentation…? I need to verify if this is the 
case though.

Thanks
Johan
