My apologies if I've misunderstood something, but why does this of any concern? Machine has 64GB RAM. You have a single swap slice that's effectively 32GB. How is a kernel panic worth of 64GB RAM going to fit into a 32GB swap slice? I think what folks are saying is that if you use multiple swap slices (e.g. two of 32GB each), you can achieve what you need. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
