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?
