The swapcache manual page has some extensive recommendations (but not the step-by-step that you put together for docs), the most important of which being that you might want to configure only 32G of swap on the 40G SSD instead of using all 40G. For a manufacturer-fresh SSD configuring only 32G out of the 40G leaves 8G which the SSD firmware will use to enhance its wear-leveling algorithms, improving the overall life of the SSD. Here are some suggestions: * When using a 40G SSD as an example configure only 32G of swap. * There is no need to newfs a swap partition. * Someone configuring swapcache fresh with no prior experience should start by only caching meta-data. i.e. data_enable=0. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dil...@backplane.com>
Matt, Thanks for the info, I will update the page to include your suggestions. Dylan
