One system was swapping quite frequently when it was equipped with 1GB of memory. I use it to run Azureus as well as a variety of first-person shooters, so demands on memory are sometimes quite high. Unfortunately I don't have any information on how much swap was typically used in the previous configuration.
The other machine is a MythTV frontend/backend; it received a memory upgrade simply because I now had spare memory on hand. I'm not so concerned with this one, because its memory usage is pretty low anyway. I am pretty sure that the swap partitions are sufficient for as much as I'd want to run on these systems. I guess I'll leave well enough alone :-) cmr Brian Schrock wrote: > On Tuesday 04 April 2006 14:13, Chris Roddy wrote: >> Resizing the data partitions on these systems to make room for a larger >> swap space would present only a minor inconvenience, but is it even >> worth that effort?
