We've noticed that in recent versions of Proxmox, that /proc/swaps is wrong. It boils down to this inside the container:
That is correctly reporting 16384 free. Here's /proc/meminfo on the same container which is also correct:
But here's the problem, /proc/swaps shows all of the swap as used:
Proxmox host details:
Here's /proc/swaps on the hypervisor (correct):
Any ideas?
