That may have been the rule back when we had less than 1GB RAM (in fact, I've heard 3 times physical RAM at one point, back in the days of 32MB RAM and less). These days, I don't see a good reason to have more than about 4-8GB of swap, even if you have 16GB of physical RAM. In fact, you really ought not to be swapping, ever, anymore. The only reason to have swap at all is that the kernel will misbehave if you ever run out of physical RAM (memory leak?) and there is no swap. -Tilghman -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
