We had a number of issues on a bigger box which was running 32bit PAE kernel for historical reason. The box has then been migrated to 64bit and then transferred to new hardware (HP DL585G7, 48 AMD cores and 64G ram). The config which now works very well for us is: - stock CentOS 5.x config - 16G swap configured (but 0 used in 99.9% if time) - following additional settings in /etc/sysctl.conf %< # Controls how aggressive the kernel will swap memory pages vm.swappiness = 10 # Controls the tendency to reclaim the memory which is used for caching vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 1 %< Just in case to want to try something.
