> disks. The old Sun way for configuring the swap partition was to configure
> the partition for one to two times the physical memory. Since memory and
> disk are getting cheaper, what is the new rule of thumb? Should I give the
> swap partition a 1 to 1 relation which would be a 16 GB swap partition?
> That sure seems like a lot of wasted space. What problems would I run into
> if I made the swap partition 8 GB or 4 GB. What if I had one 36 GB disk
> and 32 GB of RAM, you would not make swap 32 GB, would you?
