Re: Swap space requirements

Hum ... I would say that ram is really expensive right now ! 
In response to the OP, an old rule was to provision double ram as swap, actually you could put the half, or nothing.  
From my point of view, swap only helps in the way it retards OOM killer process and as a sort of warning role because it slows a lot the whole OS.

Gluster doesn't "require" swap any more than any other service, and with the price of RAM today, most admins should even consider removing swap altogether.

I am planning in deploying about 18 bricks of about 50 TB bricks each spanning 8-10 servers. My servers are high end servers with 128gb each. I have searched and cannot find any detail on swap partition requirements for the latest gluster server.  Can anyone offer me some advice?
