Summary0010045: vm.swappines cannot be changed on boot (sysctl.conf)
DescriptionSetting the parameter "vm.swappines = <number>" is not changed after a reboot in CentOs 7.2 but the same works in CentOs 7.0
Steps To Reproduceecho "vm.swappiness = 99" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
reboot
sysctl -a | egrep 'swappiness|ip_forward'
Additional InformationTested on CentOS Linux 7 (Core) with Kernel 3.10.0-229 and it succeeds
Second test, CentOS 7.0 with updated kernel to latest (3.10.0-327-3.1) works.
In CentOS Linux 7.2 (Updated with latest updates from 7.0) with Kernel 3.10.0-327.3.1 fails.

It seems your output is not complete

1/ Could you run :

# sysctl --system

2/

Can you check if "tuned" is running ? Which profile are you using ?

For example, the virtual guest profile vm.swapiness is overrided by "tuned".

You can check defaults :

# grep vm.swappiness /usr/lib/tuned/*/tuned.conf
/usr/lib/tuned/latency-performance/tuned.conf:vm.swappiness=10
/usr/lib/tuned/throughput-performance/tuned.conf:vm.swappiness=10
/usr/lib/tuned/virtual-guest/tuned.conf:vm.swappiness = 30

In this case the best approach is to tune "tuned" ;)

my 2 cents,
Thomas

1/ "sysctl --system" applies the changes.

2/ I have disabled the tuned , and the changes were applied successfully. It seems the best approach is to either tune the tuned or to disable it.
