a couple of days ago a was configuring a bunch of boxes with 1G ram
and i allocated 1G of swap, because my boss said so. a co-worker then
told me that the appropriate amount of swap to allocate should be
twice the ram. i really don't see the point of having the swap to be
twice the size of ram, especially since i have 1G of it. there must
be a point of diminishing return regarding swap allocation. is there
even a point of allocating swap on a system with 1G ram if so what's
the magic size?
thanks
