Recentemente, notei que, embora haja muita memória no meu sistema:
# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 15965 9680 6284 35 1754 2560
-/+ buffers/cache: 5365 10599
Swap: 2047 258 1789
Não posso swapoff -a
com meu arquivo de troca 2G
-rw-r----- 1 root root 2.0G Feb 9 21:34 /2GB.swap
Alterei os seguintes parâmetros do kernel via sysctl
mas essa deve ser a causa:
vm.swappiness = 5
vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 200
Qualquer motivo para:
# swapoff -a
swapoff: /2GB.swap: swapoff failed: Cannot allocate memory
? dmesg
não registra nada quando swapoff
falha. Estou usando o kernel do linux 4.19.20-041920-generic
.

sync
não muda a utilização de memória de um bit
sync
gravará páginas sujas no disco (não todas, mas quando essas páginas devem estar no disco). Isso torna essas páginas limpas, para que possam ser descartadas facilmente (sem troca ou gravação no disco), para que o kernel possa transformar rapidamente parte da memória do cache em livre. É um truque de curto prazo, para encurtar as fases críticas (troca / quantia).
