Re: Filesystem layout and hi everybody
on my systems i dont like more then 120-130MB of swap per physical hd,
more then that(unless the drive is _really_ fast) could drag the system
down real bad. i usually make it a rule for me to include a 128MB swap
partition per hd no matter how much/little ram i have. the box im on now
is 512MB, with 3 physical hds(2x7200RPM Ultra 2 1x10,000RPM ultra 2) i
have approx 375MB of swap, currently 584kB is in use.
course you may need more depending on what the box may do.
