Subject: Swap
Hello,How much swap space does 4GB ram ideally requires ? I have been using the rule "RAM size x 2" for calculating the size of swap. But as the RAM sizes are bigger nowadays, is this a wrong calculation ? I mean, is it okay if I use 1 GB of swap space (or lesser) for a 4gb RAM ?(I use to suspend my system everyday by pressing alt+shutdown menu in gnome 3)Please suggest.Thanks,
Jos Collin
Here is my viewpoint
Ramsize is typically 1.5 to one for system RAM up to 4 gigs, and then around 0.6 gigs per gig of ram beyond. My 8 gig Fedora system has allocated, 7 gigs of swap space.
