On another there is 192GB RAM and 3* 16GB swap partitions. On a regular workstation with 8GB there's just one 8GB swap partition which is almost never used it seems. If it's one huge swapfile, it never seems to clear after the build completes. I have no idea why this might be. Then there's the thing about dump/panic. IIRC doesn't total swap have to be at least size_of_ram ? Like I say, I don't know if the above is "correct" or not. It's just my experience. [1] by which I mean "is effective" [2] swap partition or file is on SSD hardware --=20 J. --K8nIJk4ghYZn606h Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE8n3tWhxW11Ccvv9/s8o7QhFzNAUFAlzhUh8ACgkQs8o7QhFz NAUJNw/9Efr8NVTghKAftLQzj7f39R/T6VZhEGvM9Qex6sBpTM3zih6DekcKOrNS fY8tTHr/ETJe2uOZLgOoW07dtQ4vaAD06R39OkJ++rWmBq4dEHPQR5gVixx5Lzge Ziwx0ND7GnGl1Xo5lFVIp65GwVbfwweqbY9G7eF6vC/mh6AcE/hnJnGbpLpAlIEC sQmA6xedKIV9VGETzJYPoZe7Blu7OuAJHBcIlCXVYREIxxdIykTIHaEhUj+tu48f IzjReyWgR1n9ah2+v0anLZMOvI6fqsIftJNBHRdkHM4pnSPS2Rb19XEB3FNs71Rr Dwc+NmvppRq0t4pKZs9gO4Yy8Bxo3C0paYuGenooLD14xmv2oTSd8MobQkf/M04+ W7nYpxcwt4Y3rLTC/zKxcLZF5I+UBmMYeGhifdUDZHkT3pNSPuTVo/xFS9SaqS3f Zb+YQr0GbPkB953EkIVgRyuW58xe97sXP3dVKYswub6xz30NAHTD8BXJlb9XyU6U cHhjui+/uPfoqwpN8kasyYFfLB4cSSe14jpVjTU7tWsLI1s2FBU6F8Bd+QxKcYAa Df07vJhTu7mDhh060byJlu+Q1j+jGVyuvS0OkN8x7Dg330ylMSMh0juwJVR36R/i GHlm7yDtJ/z/XLDy4H0D9GW/HzEOldgnVeeMI3ugRj9V7xHgWgY= =WIuP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --K8nIJk4ghYZn606h--
