Dragonfish Swap issue

Latest version of Scale called Dragonfish-24.04.0 has an issue with using more system memory for ZFS cache and causes sluggish performance and outright unresponsiveness.  

 The fix is below 

 

 Log into the shell 

 run the following commands

 

 

 sysctl vm.swappiness=0 

 

 This tells the kernel to avoid swap 

 

 

 

 swapoff -a & 

 

 turns swap off entirely

 System monitor for active process. Monitor for SWAP usage. Should see SWAP usage drop to 0
