What were the symptoms of the failure? What was the cause?
300 some gigs of swap in two partitions. I gave a few more gigs to
/home, so swap is now 60 gigs. One whats left of a 2T raid10 for
/home.
60 GB of swap? Why?
I create a 1 GB partition for swap (encrypted) on my OS drives (SSD),
but avoid using it. It is there so that runaway processes do not crash
the system (e.g. give me time to kill the process).
If you do need a non-trivial amount of swap, I suggest installing a
dedicated solid-state drive.
I was working in the last weekly AppImage build of OpenSCAD, with a
script that totalled 83 LOC, but an F6 press for readying it to save
an .stl for cura, had it using the 26gigs I gave it, and pushed
another 14Gb into swap. Took about 3 minutes to render.
I suggest adding more memory.
