Installing a new debian 12 I see that the installer setups a 1G swap on
a 24G RAM laptop.
Is the hibernation out of swap now ? (I chose to have a biigger swap,
but I find it strange)

I used to run System III on an Onyx (no paging: just swap). No 2x rule. I
believe that some versions of BSD require

The magic amount of swap is the totaly memory you ever expect to need,
minus the amount of physical RAM you have. That's it, really. These
1xRAM, 2xRAM, etc. rules are just vague hand-wavey guidelines. Just
guess how much memory you might need and subtract 1G (in your case).
Note: some systems m
hi ya..
it also depends on the largest sized programs you gonna be using...
if the binary is yoru typical 100K binarys and its datafiles is
just 100Myou will never need 1Gb of disks
also depends on hwo the apps are written to be tunable or not
for thevarious hardware configlots or m
depends what the machine is doing and how many disks you have, i for one
never like to have more then 256MB of swap on any one disk.. more then
that and the system can slow to a crawl(which is better then a
crash). Unless you got really really fast hdds. My desktop has 512MB
of ram and 377MB of
a couple of days ago a was configuring a bunch of boxes with 1G ram
and i allocated 1G of swap, because my boss said so. a co-worker then
told me that the appropriate amount of swap to allocate should be
twice the ram. i really don't see the point of having the swap to be
twice the size of ram, e

Howdy,
I installed a PC with 128MB of RAM running Linux kernel 2.0.34
I added the append="mem=128M" line to lilo.conf so the system
realy sees 128M of RAM. Since I normaly use the rule SWAP=MEM*2
on SUN and SGI I created a swappartition of 256MB and did mkswap
and... got only 130MB. Why can't I

A single linux swap partition cannot be more than 128MB in size. But that
doesn't mean you're limited to only 1 swap partition. As far as how much
you should need I can't really answer that question. But if it helps the

I'm about ready to setup a machine with 512 MB of RAM and I'm

should I allocate? Can I chan
