My current config:

df -h

13014 mysql     20   0 2756332   1,2g   9368 S  17,9  7,9  17134:40 mariadbd
 

 

server.cnf:

the server has 4 CPUs and 16 GB RAM.

Hi,

Not sure it would help for the swap usage but yes, if I were you I’d give more space for the /var/lib/mysql partition. Because you’ll run into problems if it gets full.

But is swap is used, it means that you don’t have enough memory (RAM)
