AFAIK that was true some years ago, when memory was not as cheap as now, and following that guideline I should set my swap to 2GB, which seems far too much for swap (at least to me ...). I will never need this much memory as 1GB RAM and 2GB swap. Is it still correct ? How can I resize with bsdlabel if I already used all my disk space during install ?
