Swap partition size
Authored by: timcrawf on Aug 09, '04 04:34:38PM

Are you ure this is a Rule? I have an original 12" alBook with ony 640 MB of RAM and I typically get (this is not from my system right now, as I rebooted this morning and it has not gone this high yet)
swapfile0 64 MB
swapfile1 64 MB
swapfile2 128 MB
swapfile3 256 MB
swapfile4 512 MB
swapfile5 512 MB

for a total of 1.5 GB
This can occur in 3 day, or it might take 10, but if I don't reboot for some reason or another, It wil get this big

Swap partition size

There are a ton of debates on how big a swap partition should be. The overwhelming majority in the BSD community (and one that I've always used on my servers) is to make the swap twice the size of available RAM. Your mileage may vary....
