swap_pager on cloud server

[David Mehler]

Hello,

Here's my swapinfo, though it was obtained after a server reboot, it froze up.

#swapinfo
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
/dev/md98         1780352       36  1780316     0%
/dev/md99         1036216       44  1036172     0%
Total             2816568       80  2816488     0%

Thanks.
Dave.
