Hi,

I'm curious about setting up the amount of space for the swap partition...
is there any ideal amount for FreeBSD? Or is it dependant on the size/type
of hard drive & other hardware that one has? If so, is there any kind of
equasion or theory behind determining what is the best amount to provide for
the best performance?

Is there such a thing as a swap partition that is too large?

Thanks,

Jordan
