We're currently operating with 2GB ECC Registered PC333 ram, but are finding a fairly constant usage of about 1700MB swap space; like to increase system memory, and installed motherboard supports 16 slots x 2GB DIMMS each (for 32Gb total) - but what about FreeBSD? System is running: - Apache (about 10-12 mod_perl httpd's @ 90MB ram each) - Apache (about 20-30 very basic httpds for static stuff @ 12Mb each) - Sendmail, including MimeDefang and SA processes at some 90MB each - MySQL 4.1 running about 70MB Ram - Samba (smbd's running at 30Mb ram each 30-50 in use at any time) - A number of Perl processes ranging from 1Mb - 900Mb each - Other misc, but the above are the major ones Just want to make sure no known issues exist (primarily with the above applications), comments anyone? -- Nathan Vidican nvidican@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/
