More on swap.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Yesterday in answer to the question as to how much swap is needed it was
suggested to read the article at:
http://www.redhat.com/magaszine/001nov04/features/vm/

Well this is an interesting article but it tells one nothing about swap
fits into the virtual memory structure for the 2.4 kernel in this case.

Unfortunately , it is sort of complicated and as other people have said
how much swap you need depends a good deal on what you are doing. Swap
is an concept whose name was incorrectly borrowed from the OLD 370 and
360 IBM systems and to understand how it fits in to the VM system of the
Linux kernel you need to read books like, "Linux Kernel Development,
Second Edition", by Robert Love.

In many cases you can run a Linux system without swap.
