Hello: On larger systems sporting several gigs of ram, what it the recommended swap scheme? I'm aware of the 2x ram rule of thumb and also that this rule is considered "old school" by many. And of course that you need at least as much swap as ram if you want to get a full dump... But other than that it seems we pretty much don't want/need to be swapping at all on modern machines. Curious what folks are doing in the modern world with larger systems. TIA -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. A: Why is putting a reply at the top of the message frowned upon?
