Random freezes of my FreeBSD droplet (DigitalOcean)

[Stefan Lambrev]

Hi,

Thanks for this idea.

Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
/dev/zvol/zroot/swap   2097152   310668  1786484    15%

Will check why at all swap is used when the VM is not used. But yes - as
it's a image provided by DO the swap is on the zvol...
