OT (slightly) swap limits
Being in an interview loop looking for employment, I find I am asked
questions I never considered, for example: How much is enough swap?
Simple, right? Try answering it. Used to be the limit was 2G
files/partitions with up to 8 partitions total. This does not apply
anymore: I have seen customers with 32G of swap.
Not wanting to talk about what they did with 32G of swap, but I am
trying to find documentation for the limits and the rules now.
For example: 2xRAM (or 1.5) is not considered valid any more is it? If
you have 64G of ram, you need 128G of swap. But in truth I don't know
and I am not finding much on google (lots covering the 2G OLD limit).
What I want is documentation so I am not working off of opinion (read
religious belief).
Got any links you want to share?
