1 Hi,
2
3 Installing gentoo amd64 on a Supermicro PDSMi+.
4
5 It is using 4G ram and Intel Xeon x3220 with 4 cores.
6
7 Not sure how much of swap that should be allocated.
8
9 If following the old rule, 8G should be allocated for swap. I feel that
10 is too much. Does 2.6 kernel really need so much of swap with 4G of ram?
11
12 Was thinking of just using a 1G swap file for safety. Please share some
13 thoughts on the this swap size issue.
