So another 2 gigs of swap wouldn't hurt. Can I use a swap file IN

Is swap size still as relevant as it was a decade ago? On a host
with 20G RAM, I'd imagine the likelihood of hitting swap being
much lower. Having a couple of G available just in case seems
like a good idea, but I'm unsure if the old (Total RAM * 2)=swap
equation still rings true.

According to this article:
https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-swap-space.html RedHat
basically says that for CentOS server 7, a minimum of 4G is
recommended. The caveat to this is that if your system needs to
hibernate/suspend-to-disk, in which case you'll want 1.5-2x RAM
as swap in order to write in-use memory to disk.
