Hello Edward,
I am trying to contact you directly, because you are the author of RCTL. Can you shed some light on this issue? I still have a problem with understanding this swapuse issue. Now I have a monitoring of all values reported by "rctl -u jail:fox" and there are values like 60GB of swapuse. It doesn't make sense to me. If this is a bug, I can send you a CSV log file, od ODS (LibreOffice Calc) with graph, or MRTG graphs of all values.

I tried RCTL for the first time, so maybe it is error on my side.

Both jails are small webservers with PHP + Apache. They do not use much
memory and they really do not user any swap space. (according to top and
swapinfo)


# swapinfo -h
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
/dev/mirror/gm0s1b  16777216       0B      16G     0%


# rctl -hu jail:fox | grep swap
swapuse=0


Processes in both jails are logged as using more than 32MB of swap:

Is it expected? I do not think so.
Or am I doing something wrong with rctl?

This is really strange. FOP (Java application) in jail is failing unless
rctl swapuse is set to 7GB or more.

Does swapuse means anything completely different than what is swapinfo
or top reporting?

The same web services with FOP is running completely fine on real server
with 2GB of physical RAM installed and less than 5GB of swap partition
(swap is empty). But it is not working in jail if RCTL is set to
swapuse:deny=4GB or memoryuse:deny=4GB.

Can somebody explain it?
