I've got 8Gb of RAM, and so assumed I wouldn't need any swap.
Was I wrong?

Hi all,

Interactive single-user use will probably act like that nearly all the
time. High page fault rates will always slow the system down. It's
not necessary the case that a system will maintain high paging rates
when it's gone deep into swap, but the exceptions are rather special

Swap space gets used for at least three things, swapping, paging and
kernel crash dump space.If you are not concerned about dump space,
then the rest of the decision depends a lot on the size and number
of processes
n that 3xRAM is the
upper limit of what is routinely recommended.

Provide what you think you will need. It depends on what you expect
to be doing with your memory. A busy mail server that will be using
huge amounts of temporary storage to

It depends on the system usage.
You don't *need* any swap at all.
I would advise more swap space than RAM, though, to make sure you can
do a kernel dump.

It depends on how big is the address space for your machines.
32-bit machines can address 4GB of memory, so it's reasonable to use 2

32-bit machines can address 4GB of memory, so it's reasonable to use 2
or 3 times the amount of RAM space (if you hawe 256MB or 512MB - the
swap should be 768MB or 1G

Sometimes, I accidentally run something that eats up too much memory
and causes the pager to run out of swap space and start shooting down
processes to rectify the situation. Sometimes, the process chosen for
demolition happens to be `screen.' Since this process sorta manages a

Occasionaly my system hangs for a few seconds while loading a process
from swap that has been idle for some time. It could be that I'm
actualy out of swap space in these conditions, because I see this frequently
in dmesg output:
swap_pager_getswapspace(8): failed.

Well, on my production system, I am not dumping any kernels. Once It
crashes, I reboot it and go back into production. Anything dumped
would get wiped out. Luc

If your system doesn't crash, and your workload fits into RAM, having
gigabytes of swap space set up is not v
