Suppose I have machine with 256Mb of RAM and 256Mb flash ATA disk-on-module. What configuration (using RELENG_4) should I select: 1. No swap at all. 2. /dev/md0 (default 10Mb) added as a swap device. In other words, does RELENG_4 kernel work stable and robust w/o swap or should I provide a minimum-size swap device? Which configuration (1 or 2) will give more robustness in case of physical memory shortage? Sincerely, Dmitry -- Atlantis ISP, System Administrator e-mail: dmitry@atlantis.dp.ua nic-hdl: LYNX-RIPE
