I created a swap partition of 64GB. When I boot, I get: warning: total configured swap (16777216 pages) exceeds maximum recommended amount (986928 pages). warning: increase kern.maxswzone or reduce amount of swap. I tried adding kern.maxswzone to /boot/loader.conf but it complains no matter what value I set. What should I do? I'm not actually swapping, since I have so much memory, so I could turn swap off and re-create the swap partition. Correct?
