You need 1 x RAM + a few kB in order to support getting a crashdump. Or
at least, you did before the days of minidumps. Not sure what the
requirements are for getting system dumps nowadays. Swap space used for
crashdumps should be a raw partition

No you don't. It's advised, but not mandatory
Nowadays having swap twice as RAM is not necessary. If your system wasn't
swapping much in the past you can safely stay with 4G in my opinion...
extending it to 16G would be waste of space :)
I won't bore you with the details but in fact our application *does* require

We have systems setup using geom based mirroring where the drives are
partitioned into three slices, one for the OS, one for the swap
partition, and one for our application data. We have four hot-swappable
SATA drives per system. At present we only have the OS slice mirrored
with geom, and our own
partition contained active pages. My first
reaction would be that the applications bound to these pages would
crash, something that would not happen if we used swap mirroring.

What do you guys do with swap space in this scenario ?
Provide what you think you will need. It depends on what you expect
to be doing with your memory. A busy mail server that will be using
huge amounts of temporary storage to manipulate the messages may not
need a lot of swap, simply
with swap space in this scenario ?
Swap space gets used for at least three things, swapping, paging and
kernel crash dump space.If you are not concerned about dump space,
then the rest of the decision depends a lot on the size and number
of processes you expect to be running at any given time
down. It's
not necessary the case that a system will maintain high paging rates
when it's gone deep into swap, but the exceptions are rather special
cases.

The basic advice is quite sound, so I'll reiterate it: Provide
what you think you might ever need.
Let me get behind Lowell on this bit. The box I am typing on
has 512 mb memory; because that may get bumped to 1 Gb it has 2 Gb
swap split over two disks.

Sometimes, I accidentally run something that eats up too much memory
and causes the pager to run out of swap space and start shooting down
processes to rectify the situation. Sometimes, the process chosen for
demolition happens to be `screen.' Since this process sorta manages a
whole lot

Occasionaly my system hangs for a few seconds while loading a process
from swap that has been idle for some time. It could be that I'm
actualy out of swap space in these conditions, because I see this frequently
in dmesg output:
swap_pager_getswapspace(8): failed.
But I also see other

What type of driver interface and controller is this? And what FBSD
Hi,
Simple question really... Can you ever have to much swap space?
We're sitting with quite a nifty P4 System with 1GB Ram. We will more than
likely add another 2 or 3GB in the month to come as our applications (mainly
perl) are consuming vast amounts of memory and swap.
We made the mistake

Only if there are better things you can do with that disk (or money.)
In this case, RAM might be a better priority, see below.

We made the mistake however of just allocating 512MB swap as we did not
know accurately at the time of installation what the resouce requires are
going to be (especially not that it would be this high).
A traditional rule of thumb is to have 1x - 2x the total RAM size in
swap space. This assures

PS: Is there a FreeBSD 5.4 stable version?

Guess so :)
