Choosing the right amount of swap space can be a bit of an art. A good rule of thumb is that your swap space should be two or three times as much as the available physical memory (RAM). So if you have You should also have at least 64MB of swap, so if you have less than 32MB of RAM in your computer then set the swap amount to 64MB. If you have more than one disk then you can put swap space on each disk. FreeBSD will then use each disk for I very nearly just "fixed" it, but it looked so strange that I checked the commit log first - in revision 1.140 this had to be put back to work around some kind of DocBook bug.
