heh, it does appear that the conversation missed the boat. Actually, I asked RedHat (when we supposedly had their attention) years ago about what the real swap requirements for linux where, or what were the best practices, and what should we monitor concerning swap for alarming purposes and never really got a good answer. Those were back in the RH 9 days, but at anyrate I would be interested in hearing oppinions of how one should use swap if they were to use it.
