Such recommendations are only generalisations. Ignore them and look at what your system is doing. If your swap space never runs out and you don't expect your usage patterns to require more (including cron jobs and periods of unexpected load) then you have enough. If you run out of swap space then you need more, also you should have some swap even if you have a lot of memory. There's always data that isn't used much and can be paged out to make room for more disk cache. BTW Anything that is worth saying in a .sig can be said in 4 lines. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
