Hi everyone. In man tuning(7) we read, that swap size should be about 2x main memmory size. Why swap size should be so big? Isn't swap size equal to main memmory size enough? Ok, if we have a very large amount (and total size) of processes, then larger swap could be desired. But i'm afraid we would end-up having swap-machine not a server. Also swap size has no impact on system tables sizes. Assuming we have MAXUSERS set to 0 (auto-scale), the value is calculated only by ammount of physical memmory size (and of course page size, but i assume it's constant). Shouldn't the section in man tuning(7) about swap size be changed, or am i missing something? Regards Piotr Rybicki
