You can't set swappiness from inside a VPS, it's set on the node.

Hi I hope you can help! I have a server that seems to be running a little slow and when I checked the memory I see this:

When I run: 


sysctl vm.swappiness

it says that swappiness is set to zero...



root@srv1:~# sysctl vm.swappiness
vm.swappiness = 0
and if I try to set the swappiness I get this error....



root@srv1:~# sysctl -w vm.swappiness=10
sysctl: permission denied on key 'vm.swappiness'
I want to disable swapping or limit it extremley. It is too high now and I have free ram for things to use and I don't know why things are swapping.
