No 256+256=512 so you would put half on each. > What if I have 1GB ram? It won't be swapping much anyway. Surely 2 swap > partitions of 2GB each won't hurt, but is that overkill? It not a rule more of a guide line. You can safly put less on it if you don't swap much. Dont go to low. You don't want to a situation where 100% is a posiblity. This could panic your system. -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/index.php?dir=docs/FreeBSD/ _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
