Message-ID: <20010622165142.D29638@berta.essoc.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Fellow Daemonheads, What is the recommended partitioning scheme with regard to swap space for a web server (2 1-GHz PIII; *2G RAM*; 2 9G SCSI drives). Principle apps that the server will be running are Apache/mod_perl & MySQL. The defaults given by the FreeBSD install are 4099M swap on each drive, and this seems excessive considering half the disk space would be used for swap. TIA for tips/insight. -- Hacking's just another word for nothing left to kludge. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
