No SWAP is hurting your Linux performance
- anon4728 9y agoYes, for the most part. Adjust swappiness on existing systems if unable to repartition. However there is one place having swap can be very useful and very simple to do: detecting memory pressure. Having a tiny swap partition on an SSD (with proper swappiness) is a good way to identify systems that may need more memory or loads moved to other boxes. It's also possible to monitor sysfs kernel data to accomplish most of the same goals. https://linux-mm.org/Memory_pressure https://linux-mm.org/Memory_pressure
