I have Memcached t2.small node on AWS Elasticache and because the swap was running high about 190 megabytes, so a few days ago I have added a second node.



That did not help and the swap usage and everything else was running pretty much unchanged even though I have added the second node.



The new node is using very little memory and no swap usage at all. This morning I have rebooted the original node and while everything was cleared, the swap usage dropped from 190 to only about 52 megabytes.



The questions are:



Why the swap was not cleared to zero?



Why still 50Mb swap usage if there is all that free memory after the reboot?



Not that it makes a big difference, but I was expecting the swap to be completely flushed, especially since the new node is running for 5 days without any swap.



Image showing the drop to 50Mb after reboot.

  • Is having swap causing a problem? My understanding is an operating system will put blocks into swap that it hasn't used for some time, freeing memory for useful data. I think having more data in swap is a good thing, leaving more memory for caching, rather than say having unused device drivers sitting in RAM.
