Now, i don't know how much swap space will be used. I've read about this
7GB in ibm's redbook about SAP on zLinux (SAP's "redbook" wants 20GB :).
So, I've started from seven. When i run SAP, i'll see the real
requirements.
ps: 'real' storage = 512M.
WBR, Sergey

To a certain extent, but think about it. 7GB (Sergey says 7GB, so I'll go
with that) of _swapped_out_storage_. Why is so much storage swapped out?
What's in it? What happens if you need it? I find it a little hard to
believe that that much storage will be all that idle. Hence, my comment
about it being slow.

That would depend on how much real storage was being backed by the swap
file. If it's a scaled percentage, then I would think the performance
would be similar?

As others have already stated, absolutely. I have to wonder, though, just
what kind of performance is going to be achieved if a single Linux/390
system ever has 4GB of storage actually swapped out. That sounds pretty,
ummm, _slow_ to me.

Can you get around this by having multiple swap files?
