Hi Simon, Thank you for your response. Actually, when I setuped the FreeBSD 6.2R and used the default slice configuration for my hard disk, FreeBSD suggested that the SWAP should be 4G (with 4G RAM). I had had the same suggestion when I had 2 G RAM before.
Thank you for your response again. 2007/5/18, Simon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
There is nothing wrong with this. The only reason for 2x swap is so you could dump kernel image should you want to debug a crash. Otherwise, if you ask me, 4GB of swap is waste of disk space, but then again, nowadays harddrives are so large that it doesn't really matter. -Simon On Fri, 18 May 2007 08:46:15 +0800, Tzu-Hua Wang wrote: >Hi, >I have 4G RAM totally. >The SWAP is now 4G now. >Is it ok? > >Thanks > > >2007/5/18, Tim Aslat < [EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> >> In the immortal words of Tzu-Hua Wang on 05/17/07 20:27: >> > Hi, >> > I added 2G RAM to my server.
