Just what are you planning to run? When I had 2 gig of swap for my 1 gig system, I hardly ever went to swap with my home workload. As an experiment, I've gone about a month now running with no swap, and I haven't had any issues. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of kalin mintchev Sent: Tuesday, July 20, 2004 7:48 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: swap byte size?! hi all... this is probably a stupid question but anyway.. i want to add a swap file to my system. following the rule of 2 to 1 the file would need to be 2 gigs because the ram is a gig. but using the dd command what do i put for bs and count? i was looking around on google but couldn't exactly find it.. thanks a lot... -- Software is like sex: It's better when it's free.
