Not to introduce machine dependancy, but on Intel max ram is 4GB, so it seems to me that 8-12GB total space (4-8GB swap) would be an outside value. Alphas can have more RAM, although I doubt few do. Perhaps something like: max(4Gig, 3 * RAM) Would be the best calculation. I pitty the machine with 29 GB swapped, even if it has 4GB of RAM. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org Systems Engineer - Internetworking Engineer - CCIE 3440 Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
