Other's have pointed out that you don't _need_ swap space. If you have enough RAM, you can operate without it. However, if you need to do kernel core dumps (in the even you run into kernel panic problems) you will need at least as much swap space as you have RAM, plus a little. Additionally, if your machine ever does start to swap, FreeBSD's VM code _is_ optimized on the assumption that you have 2x your RAM in swap. If the machine starts to swap, you will get the best performance under all loads (including _heavy_ swapping) if you have 2x RAM in swap. However, FreeBSD still performs nicely with less swap than that. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
