Is your database currently swapping as in active pages moving in and out of
swap?
vmstat 5 200
Does the si and so columns have anything besides 0?
Or do you just have swap being consumed by processes from some previous over
whelm of memory event?
What specific processes are using swap?
Need to run as root to see everything
for file in /proc/*/status ; do awk '/VmSwap|Name/{printf $2 " " $3}END{
print ""}' $file; done | awk '$3 == "kB" && $2 != 0 {print $1" "$2" "$3 }'

Have you tried with FILESYSYSTEMIO_OPTIONS=ALL?

Hello everyone -
We have a database server which is choosing to swap though there is plenty
of free memory.
Any pointers on what to check are much appreciated..
