I have more swap than I need, arranged thus: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
$ grep swap /etc/fstab |
| 16 |
/dev/sda3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0 |
| 17 |
/dev/sdb3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0 |
| 18 |
/dev/sda7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 |
| 19 |
/dev/sdb7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
...in which sdX3 is 2GB (not GBs, Dale - time doesn't come into it ;-) ) and |
| 22 |
sdX7 is 10GB. Thus the big swap areas are only used when necessary to compile |
| 23 |
LO, Firefox and pals. I could easily halve sda3 and still have plenty of swap. |

No, I don't suspend this box because it's permanently active running four |
| 26 |
BOINC jobs at a time. |
