Changing swappiness on SUSE-9.3
 

I want to change swappiness from 60 to 10 and I am running SUSE-9.3. How can I do it?

As the article says :P Why is everybody suddenly changing swappiness, I did it too. I didn't really notice any change in the speed.

Here is how. Login as root. and run the command sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10

Or you can edit the sysctl.conf file in the /etc folder. I did that only to find out that sysctl.conf file does not exist in Slackware. Created my own and seems to work.

Good luck!

or add this line to

rc.local file

echo 10 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

same can be dome in slackware for 2.6 kernel
