Re: [SLE] Increase swap size

From Ron Cordell to suse-linux-e@suse.com about [SLE] Increase swap size:

Hi all,

I am putting more RAM in my machine and probably need to increase the swap size as a result. Is that a valid assumption - that I need to increase the size of the swap partition/slice if I put in more RAM?

I should think you just need less. It used to be a rule of thumb to calculate the amount of swap from the amount of RAM. In fact you jast need as much swap as the memory maximum used minus the amount of RAM you have.

I am going from 256MB to 768MB. The size of the swap partition is currently 128MB.

Thanks for all the help!
