How do you configure swap disk in relation to memory.

Is there any relationship between the amount of core memory and the size of your configured swap disk?

We are bringing a new computer on line. It has a large amount of memory.

Lets pretend it has four (8) gigabyte modules of memory which is thirtytwo (32) gigabytes totally.

I want to make sure the system can see and use all of this memory. Would I have to

configure a thirtytwo (32) gigabyte swap file or would a twenty (20) gigabyte

swap file serve just as well? Does anyone have a best-practice notion of what is appropriate?

We are preparing to carve up a 2.5 terabyte storage array and we are trying to determine

how much space to allocate to swap based upon a given server's installed memory.

Sincerely

Kevin Criss
