Re: Changing Swappiness - JanetBiggar - 02-01-2018
I just checked and there’s is no line indicating “vm.swappiness=60”
I can still see my line at the bottom # vm.swappiness=10 that I had added then saved, but no other reference to swappiness.
Just curious, IF I had changed the swappiness to 10 BEFORE upgrading from LL 3.4 to 3.6 would the swappiness of 10 have stayed at 10?
I’m setting this computer up today with the youth that originally was using it when it was running XP so may have to wait till a later chance to try any other suggestions...

Not to jump in but if your line reads as you have it "# vm.swappiness=10"
Remove the comment from the beginning; the "#"
That "#" is telling the file to skip that line...

[member=7067]JanetBiggar[/member] if that line in your systcl.conf file
Quote:# vm.swappiness=10looks like this do as [member=5414]firenice03[/member] says cause that's what preventing the order to remain once you reboot the system, comment it out; delete the "#" symbol in front of it, save the file, close nano, reboot and that should be it.

This is helpful, when I get a chance I will remove the #, resave then reboot and check.
Much appreciated ?

[member=7067]JanetBiggar[/member] just so you know I tried in a Virtual Machine with only 1gb RAM changing swappiness to 1 and I did noticed some improvement in performance, so you might want to try this and see how it goes in your system. When deleting the "#" in the file change that =10 to =1, save, close nano, reboot and check for yourself.
