High use on swap

[buyiyo]

Hello,
I am having high use of swap memory on the host with a lot of free and available memory, when I use swapoff -at the point of 2.6X GB it reports an error for not being able to free more memory

Does anyone understand what the error may be?

Cheers

- What is version of your PVE? pveversion -v
- See which processes eat the SWAP with top or htop
- Check the journal of the PVE node for potential issues

do swapoff -va command and reboot the node then see if still using high swap
