   I don't let the machine swap. :-) There is currently about 460MB of
swap space configured over three drives, with typically only a few percent
in use. This is sort of a bug - it really should be >1GB of swap, but I
haven't added any additional swap space as I've added more memory and can't
repartition the drives easily. At some point I'll replace the first drive
array and when I do that, the new drives will be partitioned with swap
space striped across all of the drives in the array (and totalling more
than 1GB).
