However, I guess for my needs just / is needed, so I guess # gpart add -t freebsd-swap -a 4k -s 512m da0s1 # gpart add -t freebsd-ufs -a 4k da0s1 is what I should run?! 512m (it doesn't matter to use m or M?) is enough swap? I've got 4GB RAM. On Linux I use 2 swaps each around 2GB, but they are not much used. For Linux there are no valid rules any more, how to set up the swap, or at least I don't know the rules. Thank you, Ralf
