At Fri, 22 Jun 2001 it looks like Jacob composed: J--> J-->Fellow Daemonheads, J--> J-->What is the recommended partitioning scheme with regard to swap space J-->for a web server (2 1-GHz PIII; *2G RAM*; 2 9G SCSI drives). Principle J-->apps that the server will be running are Apache/mod_perl & MySQL. J--> J-->The defaults given by the FreeBSD install are 4099M swap on each J-->drive, and this seems excessive considering half the disk space would J-->be used for swap. J--> J-->TIA for tips/insight. J--> J--> I was just working with a (Sparc) Solaris-7 customer today and did confirm that with SUN, that was of course NOT on a FreeBSD box but thought I'd just confirm that it's not that unusual but recommended. You mentioned "on each drive", does that mean your going to end up with 8 gigs of swap ? If so then "yes" I'd say that's a little steep. -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
