swap_pager_getswapspace: failed

D

dguard

Hello,

I am getting lots of swap_pager_getswapspace: failed errors in dmesg. I have been reading that there may be a memory leak of some sort with one of the processes that is running.

My question is how do I find out what process is eating up the swap space?

Should I write a script that would run swapinfo and pipe that in to a file when swap_pager_getswapspace: failed appears in dmesg? Then look at top to see what process is eating up the swap?

Please let me know if there is a better way of figuring this out.
 
When you run top(1), the process virtual memory size is the 'SIZE' column. Press 'o', then type 'size' to sort them by the size, descending.
 
Code: 
swap_pager_getswapspace(10): failed
swap_pager_getswapspace(8): failed
swap_pager_getswapspace(5): failed
pid 66554 (mysqld), uid 88, was killed: out of swap space

whats does the number in () mean?
 
Looks like your mysql server is using way too much memory. How much internal memory does the machine have? And how's mysql configured?
