i know, i know. this is an old chestnut. we used to have swap 2-3x main memory, but nowadays the wisdom is that that old rule is no longer applicable. (this is on RHE5.) so here i am, with a 128GB memory system with 16GB of swap. and here i am, killing the system by running it out of swap.
my observation is that if i have large memory, i will use it. (to say nothing of memory leaks etc.) and if i have a few multiple large memory processes, why wouldn't i want swap sized at 2-3x memory? ------------------ Andrew Hume (best -> Telework) +1 623-551-2845 [email protected] (Work) +1 973-236-2014 AT&T Labs - Research; member of USENIX and LOPSA
