My long standing rule is swap = 8 x core. This is primarily to accommodate
having a large number of PDFs and other processes open at the same time. Many
MCU manuals run 1000+ pages. But sometimes I just want to run a ridiculously
large problem. Disk space is cheap, so there's no benefit to sa
Jake,
I had not considered creating a ZFS vdev on the SSD, but that's an excellent
point. Thanks. I think I'll do some tests with an HDD and an SSD with various
configurations.
Ian,
If swap equal core what's the benefit? I've never considered swapping as
"virtual memory", Just part of ti
Oh, and additionally, swap can serve as a useful safety valve if memory
gets fragmented and the kernel has to allocate a large, contiguous page for
some kind of DMA buffer or the like. I don't know if that's a common
scenario on OI, but I've seen it happen on Linux.

I've used swap plain partitions on zfs-rooted machines as well as
multi-disk zfs swap, both to good effect.
Even if secondary storage (SSD) can never be as fast as primary (RAM),
it'll should allow the job to proceed when the batch process peaks its
memory utilisation. Since it's batch processing

Gee guys, I would have thought from my comment about interleaving swap on two
disks in 4.x that it would be obvious that I understand it would be slower.
And in fact, know quite a bit about virtual memory implementations. At the
time, I tested interleaving 2 & 3 drives. The improvement with

I don't think you can add the drive as a drive, but you could create a

Adding a swap partition or slice from a drive worked just fine last time

I have only occasional need to run problems larger than main memory (16 GB at
present), so I can't justify replacing all the DRAM for an infrequent need.
The drop in SSD prices has me contemplating adding a 128 GB SSD as a swap
device. The SSD latency and IOPS specs look as if they might be a
