[Michael Dutcher <dutcherm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good afternoon,


I was able to get this resolved, by following your advice and taking the
following steps:


I used the following commands to update my kernel on my server:
1.  sudo aptitude update
2.  sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
3.  sudo aptitude full-upgrade


Unfortunately, this messed up my MySQL database, and gave me the
following error in Fog:


http://fogproject.org/forum/attachments/screenshot-
from-2014-08-18-16-43-16-png.1298/


which fortunately, was resolved by following the instructions on the Fog
server forum:

http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/fog-is-inoperable-after-server-
reboot.11460/


Specifically, the following is what corrected the database issue:


Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5


Now, I no longer have the issue of kswapd0 running my CPU to 100% and my
Fog server is working as expected. It was a little more than I was
expecting for a fix, but I’m just happy it worked.



Thanks,

@dutcherm:


Can you please try the latest Trusty (3.13) kernel and see if the
problem persists. There have been numerous fixes since then and this
issue may already be solved.


Thanks,

Title:

  kswapd0 100% cpu usage


Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:

  Confirmed


Bug description:

  I'm running a simple Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS with the kernel that came

  with it, 3.13.0-24-generic. I have LAMP installed and Fog server.


  It is also running as a VM on Hyper-V server 2012 R2 with Dynamic

  memory.


  Since it is only a Fog server, most of the time it isn't really

  performing any tasks.
