Re: [ilugd] Question about SWAP and tempfs
It's no hard and fast rule that swap space should be 2xRAM size. In your case, having a 48 GB RAM means that you can live with any amount of swap space. You don't need 96 GB at all. Because 96 GB of swap space means that much of swapping, and if your system is gonna do that much of swapping, then it will die in sometime. Also you can decrease or increase the tmpfs size but i wouldn't recommend. As tmpfs allocates the size dynamically, so if you need RAM then it will swap the pages in tmpfs to swap space and you will get more memory to work with. Still i you want to play with tmpfs then change the parameters in the /etc/fstab file. mount -t tmpfs -o size=1G,nr_inodes=10K,mode=0700 tmpfs /space In this example it will use only 1G of RAM for tmpfs. Hope this helped.

SWAP partition must always be 2 x RAM? My machien has 48 GB RAM. I have to create 96GB SWAP partition? Isn't 4 GB or 8 GB good enough? [...] SWAP partition should be and not must be 2 x RAM. It's a rule of thumb that you should have this much RAM. Your swap size depends upon the applications you are gonna use. I agree with Ankit and would suggest that 8-10 GB swap is enough and keep monitoring it. As i know modern kernels comes with a parameter *swappiness* and it's parameters varies from 1 to 100. Higher values lead to more pages being swapped, and lower values lead to more applications being kept in memory, even if they are idle. By default it's set to 60(not sure) so you can change it also to see if it fits you. 2. tempfs consumes half of RAM i.e. 24GB in my case as I have 48 GB of physical RAM installed. Can I reduce it to say 8GB? Can it be done? How? Is it recommended to reduce tempfs? regards, Amit Sharma Thanks and Regards, Amit Sharma ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd -- Regards RAKESH KUMAR http://www.openwebtech.in http://raakeshkumar.wordpress.com ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd ___ Ilugd mailing list Ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Re: [ilugd] DUAL BOOT DILEMMA
5. but during the boot on selecting the other it shows nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;rootnoverify(hd0,4) nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;chainloader +1 This line is correct. At the installation time it shows u r selecting hda5. b'coz operating system starts the count from 1 but at the boot it will show 4 b'coz BIOS starts the count from 0 and hence it stays to 4. *** As windows boot is considered u won't be able to boot windows from D drive. Sorry but windows S***KS. Windows scans for ur hard drive and expected some minimal file in the primary partition that means C. So u can't run windows without C drive. U can play with all ur hard drive but u have to save the C drive for windows if u need windows on ur system. If u need further help then feel free to mail me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] as i check yahoo mails very rare.

Hi, i m using firefox 2.0.0.10 and doing net banking (ICICI bank) and don't face any issues ever. Sometime there is a server side issues which results to a timeout.
