I've got a mini server running (L)ubuntu 14.04.3, kernel 3.4.39. Every once in a while, the process kswapd0 will use 100% of my CPU power, even though I only use about ~20% of my RAM at that time. There is no reason for kswapd0 to be running, let alone use that much of my CPU. I've already tried putting my vm.swappiness = 1, but unfortunately that didn't help.
There is a lot stuff on google about this problem, some dating back as far as 2010, but no real answer. What should I try?
Thanks in advance!
